Conway, Arkansas - The Trinity Tiger baseball team was unable to hold on to a four-run lead late in the game, eventually losing 9-8 against Hendrix College on Sunday afternoon.

Trinity (21-8, 9-5) led 7-3 after six innings, but the Warriors rallied with a six-run seventh to take the lead, and the Tigers could not recover.

The Tigers opened the game with a run in the first, then after Hendrix tied it in the seventh, Trinity used a three-run fourth to take control with a 4-1 lead.  Though Trinity also scored in the fourth and the fifth (two runs), Hendrix also scored a couple of runs in the fourth and fifth to set up the game-changing seventh.

Starting pitcher Ryan Lucero went 6.1 innings, giving up six runs - five earned - on 12 hits, but left with the lead intact.  Reliever Josh Fink was charged with the loss, giving up three runs on two hits, though just one of the runs was earned. 

Kevin Calbick was 2-4 with one RBI and two runs in the game, while Christian Muscarello was also 2-4 with one run and one RBI. 

Will Donnan saw his first action of the 2011 season, going 1-3 with a run and two RBI for the Tigers.  Kyle Felix also drove in a pair of runs, and was 1-5 on the day.

Trinity returns home on Tuesday to take on Texas Lutheran University at 7:00 p.m.  Next weekend, the Tigers host Southwestern in a three-game SCAC series.
