Tigers Finish Tournament With Loss to HPU

 

Longview, Texas - Trinity finished off the LeTourneau Tournament with a 9-1 loss to Howard Payne University on Saturday afternoon.

Trinity (2-10) fell behind quickly as Howard Payne plated seven runs in the first inning of play.  The Tigers gave up single runs in the second and third innings as well, before breaking up the shutout in the top of the fifth.

The Tigers recorded just three total hits in the game, giving up just five hits to Howard Payne.  Trinity's pitchers allowed eight walks in four innings, though giving HPU numerous free baserunners.

Lee Smith was 2-2 with a run scored for the Tigers, while Kate Wright added the team's third hit on a 1-2 day for her. 

Trinity's doubleheader with the University of the Ozarks - originally scheduled for tomorrow at LeTourneau University - has been cancelled.  The Tigers return to action on Thursday afternoon against Evangel University in San Antonio.
