San Antonio - The Tiger baseball team swept both games of a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader against the University of Dallas on Saturday afternoon, winning 9-1 and 9-8.

Top-ranked Trinity (21-3, 10-0) won for the ninth time in the last 10 games, including the last six games in a row. 

The Tigers rallied from a one-run deficit with an eight-run fourth inning that pretty much sealed the win in the opening game.  In game two, Trinity had to hold off a late rally by Dallas to escape with the victory.

Trinity was ahead 7-1 after three innings in game two, then Dallas scored two runs in the fourth and four runs in the sixth to make it an 8-7 Tiger lead after six.  The Crusaders then tied the game with a run in the seventh, but Christian Muscarello crushed a solo homer in the bottom of the inning to secure the win.

In game one, Trinity had six hits in the fourth inning to plate eight runs, erasing a 1-0 Dallas lead.  The Tigers added another run in the fifth to finish the scoring.

Ben Klimesh earned the win in the opening game, improving to 9-0 on the season.  He allowed one run on five hits through six innings, striking out nine batters.  With his nine strikeouts, Klimesh tied the SCAC record for career strikeouts (Mike Frost, 2001-04).

Nick Griffith and Kevin Clements had two RBI each in the opening game, while Kelly Woodruff scored two runs to go with his two hits.  Griffith, Woodruff, and Nick Pappas had two hits each in the game.

Michael Bentz (2-0) took the win in the second game, pitching the final three innings without allowing a hit, and retiring the final six batters in order to clinch the win.

Muscarello went 2-3 with three runs scored in the second game, and the home run was his fifth this season.

Pat Hirschberg was 2-3 with two runs and three RBI in the second game, while Dominick Robusto collected three hits.  Griffith drove in two more runs in the seocnd game, while Clements and Pappas had two more hits in game two.

Trinity and Dallas will conclude their regular season series with a single game tomorrow, beginning at 1:00 p.m.  The Tigers will also host the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening.
