Shreveport, Louisiana - Trinity's baseball team was tripped up in a 6-5 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference loss to Centenary College on Sunday afternoon.

The Tigers lost two out of three games in the road series, marking the team's first losing streak of the season.  Trinity came into the weekend ranked sixth nationally, and began the series with the team's ninth consecutive victory.  

Trinity falls to 15-4 this season with today's loss, which came despite the Tigers taking a 3-0 lead after three innings of play.  In the bottom of the third, Centenary scratched across a run to break up the shutout.  The Gents then piled on four more runs in the fourth to take a 5-3 lead over the Tigers.

In the top of the seventh, Trinity rallied to tie the game with RBI singles from Kevin Clements and Christian Muscarello.  Centenary then added on an unearned run in the bottom of the inning, taking advantage of one of two Tiger errors to pull ahead for good.  The Gents scored three total unearned runs on the day.

Trinity had 11 hits in the game, holding Centenary to just five hits.  Three Tiger pitchers combined to issue six walks and hit two batters, though, and the Gents were able to capitalize. 

Tanner Barron gave up four runs on three hits through three innings, while Michael Walker (1-2) was charged with the loss in relief.  Walker struck out five in four innings of work, and allowed two runs on two hits - though both runs were unearned.

Muscarello went 3-4 with two runs scored, while Will Donnan collected two hits and two RBI to lead the Tiger offense.  Pat Hirschberg also went 2-4 for Trinity.

The Tigers return home on Tuesday night, hosting Texas Lutheran University in a non-conference matchup.  Trinity resumes SCAC play with another three-game road series at the University of Dallas next weekend.
