Box Score

San Antonio -- The Trinity Tigers baseball team wrapped up its Houston Wheeler Memorial Tournament with a 10-2 victory Sunday afternoon at the Trinity Baseball Field.
 
Trinity (2-1) beat Schreiner 9-8 on Saturday, and then lost 10-9 to Birmingham-Southern to start the season.
 
 Sunday's game was highlighted by Tiger junior right-handed pitcher Ben Klimesh (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) who did not allow a hit until the sixth inning. Klimesh (1-0), who hurled seven innings, allowed one earned run, three hits, seven walks, and fanned 10 Panther players.
 
Senior right-hander Michael Panozzo (Houston/Clear Lake) took over for the final two innings and gave up only two hits.
 
Trinity jumped out to an early 4-0 lead after the first two innings, and the game was never in doubt. The Tigers added six runs in the last three innings of the match-up.
 
Sophomore first baseman Jonathan Hall (Kenilworth, Ill./New Trier) smacked a two-run homer in the sixth inning. Hall batted 4-4 (one walk) with four RBI, and scored two runs.
 
 First-year second baseman Christian Muscarello (Tucson, Ariz./Catalina Foothills) swatted two doubles and a triple in the game. Muscarello batted 3-5 with an RBI and two runs scored.
 
Another Tiger newcomer, shortstop Nicholas Iacovella (Tampa, Fla./Jesuit), hit 3-5 with two RBI, a double and scored a run. Senior catcher Kyle Felix (Woodside, Calif./Bellarmine College Prep) went 2-5 with two RBI and a double.
 
Birmingham-Southern catcher Bruce Maxwell and third baseman Brandon Perry each had an RBI in the game. The Panthers scored a run in the fourth and seven innings.
