Trinity Edges Texas Lutheran to Sweep Season Series

Box Score

Seguin, Texas - The Tiger baseball team held off a late charge to earn a 3-2 road win over Texas Lutheran University on Tuesday afternoon.

Trinity earned its 30th win of the season with the narrow victory, after also beating the Bulldogs 8-6 in San Antonio earlier in the year.  The Tigers have won six consecutive games.

The two teams were scoreless through four innings of play, when Trinity loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth.  The Tigers scored on a passed ball and two sacrifice flies to take a 3-0 lead.

The Bulldogs broke up a shutout with an unearned run in the sixth, then added another run in the ninth.  Texas Lutheran put the winning run on base, but hit into a double play to cut short the rally.  

Starting pitcher Andrew Alig (4-1) was perfect through 3.2 innings, giving up just one earned run through 8.1 innings, and striking out six batters.  Troy Ward came on in the ninth, inducing the game-ending double play.

Connor Moore went 3-5 with a run to lead the Tiger offense, which finished with five total hits in the game.  Christian Muscarello and Pat Hirschberg also had hits, while Muscarello and Kevin Francke both drove in runs.

Trinity travels to Southwestern University this weekend to complete its regular season conference schedule with two road games.  The Tigers swept a three-game home series from the Pirates earlier in the year.
