Trinity Settles for DH Split With Hendrix

Conway, Arkansas - The Tiger baseball team was forced to settle for a split of a Saturday doubleheader in SCAC play, as Hendrix took the day's finale by the final of 10-6.

Trinity (10-7, 2-1) was never able to fully recover from a six-run fist inning by the Hendrix offense in this game.  The Tigers did respond with a run in the second, but Hendrix pushed the lead right back to six with another run in its half of the second inning. 

A five-run fourth inning put Trinity back into the game, but the team still trailed by a run.  Just as quickly as the Tigers were able to claw back into it, Hendrix pushed across two more runs to regain control with a 9-6 advantage.  Hendrix then added an insurance run in the sixth to complete the scoring.

Tiger starter Zach Bukowski (1-1) was chased from the game in the first inning, giving up six runs on four hits in the opening frame.  Britton Horn struck out a pair of batters in relief, throwing 4.1 innings and giving up three earned runs.  Mike Panozzo threw the final inning for Trinity.

Evan Jones went 2-4 with two runs scored, cracking his sixth double of the season.  Dillan Early went 1-3 with three RBI as well.  Kyle Felix hit his third home run of the season - all of which have come in the past five games.

Trinity and Hendrix will wrap up the four-game weekend series with a single game on Sunday at 12:00 p.m.  Trinity returns home on Monday for the start of seven straight home games next week.
