Tigers Defeat Wisconsin-Stout Monday Night

San Antonio - Trinity's baseball team used an eight-run inning to secure a 16-2 victory over University of Wisconsin-Stout on Monday night at E.M. Stevens Field.

Trinity (11-5) scored three runs in both the first and second innings, but really busted the game open with an eight-run fifth inning to go ahead 14-1. 

Ryan Hopkins (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits through 5.2 innings to earn the win, striking out six hitters in his first start of the 2006 season.  Relievers John Allen and Britton Horn allowed just one hit over the final 3.1 innings.

The Tiger offense hammered out 20 hits against the Blue Devils, including three players with three hits in the game.  Ryan Cavan, Bobby Zabor, and Will Becker all had three singles in the game to lead the team.  Cavan was 3-3 with one RBI and three runs scored, while Becker and Zabor were both 2-4 with two runs and two RBI. 

Johnny Baugus hit his fourth home run of the year, and finished 2-4 with two RBI.  Blake Holman had two hits and two runs scored, while J.B. Sowyrda and Andreas Verrios knocked in two runs each.

Ricky Welch came off the bench to crack two doubles in two trips to the plate, driving in a pair of runs.  Nick Vera finished 2-4 with one run and one RBI.

Trinity will travel to Austin, Texas tomorrow to take on Concordia (TX) University.  The Tigers return home for a two-game SCAC series over the weekend, taking on Southwestern on Saturday and Sunday.  Both games will begin at 1:00 p.m.
