Tigers Lose to Southwestern to Open SCAC Series

Georgetown, Texas - Trinity's baseball team opened up a four-game weekend series in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play with a 7-0 shutout loss to Southwestern University on Friday night.

Trinity (15-19, 5-7) fell behind early after a homer in the bottom of the first inning put Southwestern on top 3-0.  That early blow was all the Pirates needed, though they added some insurance runs late in the game for the final tally.

Evan Bronson (3-3) took the loss for Trinity, giving up four runs on eight hits through six innings, striking out three batters, and breaking up a stretch of two solid outings for the sophomore left-hander.  Adam Morrison (7-4) pitched a complete-game six-hit shutout for Southwestern.

Andreas Verrios collected two of Trinity's six hits in the game, while Jeff Claydon hit his first career double in a 1-4 performance at the plate. 

Leading hitter Nick Vera was 0-1, drawing three walks as Morrison seemingly pitched around him in this game.

Trinity and Southwestern continue the series with a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon - one seven-inning game and one nine-inning game.  The regular season conference schedule for both teams will wrap up with a single game on Sunday afternoon.
