San Antonio - Trinity's baseball team completed a season series sweep with a 9-3 win over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Tuesday night.

The Tigers improved to 23-3 overall this season, and extended their winning streak to eight games.  Trinity defeated UMHB 5-3 earlier this season, in Belton, Texas.

Trinity finally came to life after a sluggish start to the game, but it took a 3-0 UMHB lead to wake up the Tiger offense.  Trinity scored nine runs in a four-inning stretch to put the game away, starting with a three-run fourth inning.

Christian Muscarello sparked the big inning with a leadoff single, and the Tigers tallied five hits to plate three runs.  Dominick Robusto tied the game with a one-out single through the left side of the infield. 

Clinging to a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning, the Tigers put together a crucial two-out rally to bring in two runs.  Kevin Francke started the damage with a two-out walk, which was followed by a fielding error and a wild pitch to put two runners in scoring position.  Kelly Woodruff cracked a two-run single to right field, and Trinity went up 6-3 at that point. 

Robusto knocked in two more runs in the seventh to finish off the scoring, and he was 2-5 with one run and three RBI in the game.  Will Donnan also picked up his second RBI of the day in the seventh, going 1-4 and scoring two runs.

Woodruff had two hits to go with his two RBI, while Pat Hirschberg scored two runs.  Nick Pappas also had two hits in the game - including Trinity's only extra-base hit, which was a leadoff double off the wall in the fifth inning.  Nick Griffith also had two hits for the Tigers.

Franklin Bay (1-0) earned the win, pitching two innings of relief without allowing a hit.  Ben Klimesh made a rare relief appearance, striking out four batters in two innings of work late in the game.  Trinity relievers held UMHB scoreless, giving up just one hit over the final 5.1 innings of the game.

Trinity will not play again until next Tuesday (April 3), when it will travel to face Hardin-Simmons University, in Abilene, Texas.  The Tigers return home to play Texas Lutheran University on Tuesday, April 10.
