Tigers Open DH With Ninth Straight SCAC Win

San Antonio - Trinity's baseball team opened up a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader with a 5-3 win on Saturday afternoon, pushing the team's conference winning streak to nine games.

Trinity (26-10, 12-2) erased a 2-0 deficit with a three-run fourth inning to take the lead for good.  The Tigers added single runs in the fifth and sixth to add to the lead, which turned out to be important after Milllsaps scored a run in the seventh that would have tied the game otherwise.

Jeff Claydon went 2-3 with two runs and two RBI, hitting his fourth homer of the season to lead off the sixth inning.  Kevin Calbick also had two hits, as did John Paillet. 

Evan Bronson (6-3) struck out seven batters in seven innings, giving up just three runs on eight hits to the Millsaps offense.  It was the third complete game of the season for Bronson as well.

Trinity and Millsaps will finish the Saturday doubleheader this afternoon, then will finish the weekend series with a single game on Sunday afternoon.
