Irving, Texas - Trinity's baseball team finished off a two-game Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference sweep with a 5-0 shutout win over the University of Dallas on Sunday afternoon.

Trinity improved to 12-1 this season with the win, and remained unbeaten in conference play with a 4-0 SCAC record.

The Tigers did all their scoring in the first two innings, sparked by Pat Hirschberg's second home run of the weekend.  Hirschberg hit a three-run shot in the first to put Trinity out in front for good. 

Trinity added two more runs in the second inning with a pair of RBI singles, and starting pitcher Ryan Lucero took care of the rest.

Lucero improved to 4-0 on the season, throwing a two-hit shutout to finish off the road weekend series.  Lucero struck out a career-high 12 batters in the game, issuing just one walk. 

It was the second consecutive shutout for Lucero, who also held Hendrix scoreless last Sunday.  He didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning, and only allowed two runners to advance to third base during the game. 

Hirschberg was 2-5 with one run and three RBI to lead the Tiger offense.  Christian Muscarello and Dominick Robusto also had two hits each for Trinity.

Trinity returns home next weekend, facing off against Chapman University for a three-game series that begins on Friday night at 7:00 p.m.  Chapman is ranked second nationally, while Trinity ranks 22nd in Division III>
