San Antonio - The Tiger baseball team swept a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader from Hendrix College on Sunday afternoon, winning 7-2 and 10-0.

Trinity opened SCAC play with today's games, and the team improved its overall record to 9-1 this season. 

Ben Klimesh upped his record to 4-0 with the complete-game victory in game one, giving up two runs on three hits, and striking out nine batters. 

Ryan Lucero gave the Tigers their second dominating pitching performance of the day in the second game, tossing a three-hit shutout to secure the Sunday sweep.  Lucero recorded four strikeouts in his first career shutout.

Hendrix took the early lead with a second-inning run off of Klimesh in the opener, but the Tigers hammered out three runs in the third to take the lead for good.  The Warriors made it 3-2 in the fifth, but Trinity then scored four more in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings to finish off the win. 

Kevin Clements and Kelly Woodruff both went deep in the ball game.  Woodruff was 2-3 with one RBI and two runs scored, while Clements had a pair of RBI to go with one run scored.  Nick Pappas also had two RBI in the game.

Trinity's offense picked up right where it left off in game two, piling up four runs in the first inning of play.  After runs in the third and fifth, the Tigers then set up the mercy rule with four more in the bottom of the sixth.

Christian Muscarello had a bases-clearing double and a two-run home run in game two, tallying five RBI and scoring two runs.  Jonathan Hall collected three hits in the game, while Kevin Clements drove in a pair of runs. 

Including Muscarello, the top five batters in Trinity's lineup scored two runs each, accounting for all of the scoring in the finale.  Dominick Robusto, Will Donnan, Nick Pappas, and Pat Hirschberg were the 1-4 hitters, with Muscarello cleaning up after them.  Robusto also stole a pair of bases in the game.

Trinity will be back on the road for three games this week, starting with a Tuesday afternoon game at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.  Next Saturday and Sunday, the Tigers will continue SCAC play at the University of Dallas.
