Team White Rallies to Claim 2-0 Lead in Trinity Fall World Series

(Submitted by Zach Fregosi)

San Antonio - Game 2 of the Fall World Series turned out a lot like the first. After jumping out to a 9-run lead after the 3rd, Team White chipped away and came back to win with a Sac Fly in the bottom of the 9thoff the bat of First-Year Catcher Kelly Woodruff.

The run capped off a huge offensive day for both teams, with 4 home runs in the game and a combined 27 runs in the 14-13 slugfest. Freshman Jonathan Hall and Kevin Clements each homered on the day, along with former High School teammates John Paillet and Nick Pappas. It was a tough day for the Tiger pitching staff, in a game which combined for 10 different pitchers, including 5 freshmen getting their first taste of live college action. Kevin Francke and Matt Grimshaw each had a 3-6 day for their respective teams.

With the win, Team White takes a 2-0 lead in the series with Game 3 being played tonight at 6 pm at E.M. Stevens Field at Trinity University. Noah Solomon (Grey) and Josh Fink (White) will be matching up for tonight’s contest.
