Tigers Defeat Schreiner for Eighth Straight Win on Tuesday

Kerrville, Texas - Trinity's baseball team secured its eighth consecutive win by defeating Schreiner University 16-4 on Tuesday afternoon.

Trinity (27-7) clinched the season series with Schreiner after today's win, going 3-1 against the Mountaineers this season. 

The Tigers scored five runs in the third and fourth innings to open the scoring in the game, then answered two Schreiner runs with 11 runs from the sixth to the eighth innings to take complete control.  The Mountaineers added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth, but the game was out of reach by then.

Three different Trinity players had three hits or more in the game, including reigning SCAC Player of the Week Evan Jones.  Jones, who had hit a home run in five straight games heading into today, went 3-4 with two runs and three RBI.  The three runs driven in by Jones tie the Trinity career record set by Bo Edwards (1997-00).  Jones hit two doubles and also drew two walks in the game.

Nick Pappas went 4-6 with two runs and three RBI, while Kevin Jackson was 3-4 with two runs and four RBI.  Chris Walden and Kevin Calbick had two hits and two RBI each, while Kevin Francke and Patrick Frasier both had two hits.  Frasier also scored twice, while Dylan Early scored three times in the game.

Tanner Barron earned the win for the Tigers, improving to 2-0 on the season.  He gave up two runs on six hits through five innings, striking out four batters.  Kyle Bogese finished off the game by striking out the side in the ninth inning.

Trinity returns to action tomorrow, facing off against Texas Lutheran University at 2:00 p.m. in Seguin, Texas.
