Abilene, Texas - Trinity's 11th-ranked baseball team started with a six-run first inning on its way to a 13-6 win at Hardin-Simmons University on Tuesday.

The Tigers snapped their four-game losing streak in the process, which marked the team's longest streak since dropping six straight games in 2007.  Trinity improves to 22-6 on the season, while the Cowboys fell to 10-13 overall.

In the first inning, Trinity hammered out six runs on seven hits, highlighted by Pat Hirschberg's three-run home run.  The Tigers added another run in the second, then two more in the sixth before Hardin-Simmons got on the board.

In the sixth, HSU finally put something together against Tiger starter Kyle Bogese.  The inning started off with a single, which was followed by a two-base error.  Bogese then hit the next two batters before being relieved.  Hardin-Simmons then drew two bases-loaded walks and another hit batter to make it 9-3.  The Cowboys added three more runs before the inning was done, cutting the lead to 9-6. 

Bogese (5-1) still earned the win, allowing three runs (only two earned) over five-plus innings of work.  He also recorded his 100th career strikeout, picking up four in today's game.  

Hirschberg finished 2-4 with two runs and four RBI in the game, collecting his sixth homer of the season.  Nick Jewett also went deep (his second), going 3-5 at the plate, scoring twice, and drive in four more runs.  

Connor Moore enjoyed a four-hit game, going 4-5 with two runs scored, while Carter McEachern and Christian Muscarello scored two runs each.  Jeremy Wolf also added two runs scored with a 2-5 afternoon, while Chris Bianchi picked up three hits.  Both of Wolf's hits were doubles, bringing his season total to a team-high 10.  

Trinity hammered out 17 total hits in the game, which is just one short of a season-high.  The Tigers will continue Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play this weekend, facing off against Schreiner University in a three-game series.
