Trinity Baseball Completes Series Sweep of Austin College

Sherman, Texas – The Trinity Tigers baseball team swept the SCAC season series with the Austin College Kangaroos, following a 19-3 seven-inning, run-rule victory Sunday at Baker Field.

Trinity (26-7, 13-4 SCAC), ranked No. 25 nationally by d3baseball.com, won Friday's game 8-2, and captured a three-game series last February in San Antonio. The Tigers, on a seven-game winning streak, are in first place in the SCAC West Division. The Kangaroos dropped to 17-16 and 9-11 SCAC.

Evan Jones  homered for the fifth consecutive game, a two-run shot in the first inning to right field. He pushed his career mark to 27 home runs, just three away from tying the Trinity record. Jones cracked his 12th home of the campaign, two shy of equaling the Tigers single-season record of 14. He batted 3-3 with six RBI, and scored two runs, along with hitting two doubles.

Trinity's biggest inning of the game was the fifth, when the Tigers produced 10 runs on four hits, and one Austin College error. Dominick Robusto hit a three-run homer to left field, his second round-tripper of the year.  Robusto went 2-5 with three RBI, and scored two runs in the game. Jones contributed to the high-scoring inning with a two-RBI double down the right field line.

Nick Pappas, who accounted for two doubles, hit 2-3 with three RBI, and two runs. Jonathan Hall batted 2-3 with two RBI, and one run. Kevin Jackson produced three of the Tigers' runs.

Right-hander Noah Solomon was the first of three Trinity pitchers, and claimed the victory. Solomon (4-2) pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, seven hits, two walks, and striking out four batters.

The Tigers travel to Kerrville, Texas, Tuesday for a game with Schreiner. Trinity then goes to Seguin Wednesday for a single game with Texas Lutheran. The Tigers close out their regular-season home schedule next Saturday and Sunday, with a three-game SCAC series against Millsaps.
