Tiger Baseball Sweeps Doubleheader at Schreiner

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Kerrville, Texas - Trinity's baseball team swept Schreiner University 16-4 and 15-4 in a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon.

The Tigers reached 30 wins for the third consecutive season, and for the 11th time in 14 years under Head Coach Tim Scannell.  Trinity stands 31-6 this season, sweeping all four games against Schreiner in 2012.  The offense put forth its best two games of the season in terms of run production.

In the opening game, Trinity hammered out 21 hits in just seven innings, starting with a six-run second inning that proved to be enough for the win.  Schreiner inched back to 6-2 after three innings, but the Tigers scored 10 times in the final three innings to close out the game.

Nick Pappas and Will Donnan both went 4-4 in the game, while both Ryan Schweers and Kevin Francke were 3-4.  Donnan drove in a team-best four RBI to go with two runs scored, and Schweers also scored twice.

Pappas had three runs scored to lead the team, and had a double and triple among his four hits.  He was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle in the first game.

Dominick Robusto was 2-4 with three runs and two RBI, while Kevin Clements was 2-3 with two runs and two RBI to start the day.

Tanner Barron (2-0) earned the victory, allowing two runs on five hits in five innings of work.  Both of Barron's runs were unearned, and he recorded eight strikeouts in the game.  Weston Haaf finished off the opener for the Tigers, striking out two batters in the final two innings.

The second game started off differently for both teams, as Schreiner took a 3-1 lead after one inning.  A five-run second put Trinity back in front for good, and another five-run inning put the Tigers up 14-3 after six. 

Nick Griffith (1-0) earned his first win of the season, allowing three runs on six hits through six innings, and striking out three batters.  After a rough first inning, Griffith pitched five shutout innings in which he gave up just two hits. 

Three different Tiger players had four hits in the second game, led by a 4-5 performance by Pappas.  He added two runs and two RBI to his day's total, going 8-9 overall against the Mountaineers.

Clements and Christian Muscarello also had four hits each for Trinity.  Muscarello was 4-5 with four runs scored, while Clements was 4-6 with four RBI.  Robusto had another monster game in the finale, going 3-5 with one run and four RBI. 

Schweers added two more hits and two runs scored to his day, while Kevin Francke scored three times.  Francke was 1-2 at the plate, also reaching twice via walks.

Trinity concludes its regular season schedule with a three-game Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference series against Austin College this weekend.  The Tigers have already clinched the West Division's top seed for the season-ending SCAC Tournament, held at USA Baseball Stadium in Millington, Tennessee.
