San Antonio - Trinity's top-ranked baseball team was able to rally twice in its last at-bat to pull off a narrow 5-4 extra-inning win over the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Tuesday night.

The Tigers extended their winning streak to 15 games with the victory, improving the team's overall record to 19-1.  The Crusaders fell to 13-3 with the loss.

Mary Hardin-Baylor scored twice in the ninth with a two-run double off the wall to take a 3-2 lead over Trinity, but the Tigers forced extra innings with an Austin Singer sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.

Both teams left runners on in the 10th, and after a 1-2-3 11th for UMHB, the Tigers left the potential winning run at second in the bottom of that inning.

In the 12th, the Crusaders took advantage of three Trinity errors to score the go-ahead run with just one out.  The run scored on a play at the plate that was dropped after Tiger catcher Chris Bianchi looked to have tagged out the runner to keep the game tied.

Leading off the bottom of the 12th, Bianchi got redemption for his miscue by driving an 0-1 pitch over the fence in left field to tie the game at 4-4.  The Tigers then got a single from leadoff hitter Connor Moore, and after a sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch, Trinity had the winning run at third with just one out.  

The Crusaders elected to walk the next two batters intentionally to load the bases and set up a force play at every base.  Mary Hardin-Baylor got the ground ball they wanted, but a throwing error to the plate allowed Moore to score the winning run to score for the Tigers.

Moore was 2-4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases in the game, while Christian Muscarello drove in two runs for the Tigers.  Jeremy Wolf and Drew Butler each had two hits, going 2-4 at the plate. 

Bianchi's home run was his third of the season, and was his only hit of the ball game.  

Nick Griffith earned his first win of the season by finishing off the final two outs of the 12th inning for Trinity.  Though he gave up two hits to start his night, he struck out the final two batters to keep it a one-run game, setting up Bianchi's game-tying shot.  

Kyle Bogese gave up one run on three hits through 6.1 innings to start the game for the Tigers, striking out six batters, but did not factor in the decision. 

Trinity returns to action with a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader against the University of Dallas on Saturday afternoon.
