Kerrville, Texas - The 11th-ranked Trinity Tigers swept the Schreiner University Mountaineers in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference baseball doubleheader Saturday at Mountaineer Field.

The Tigers opened the day by two runs in the top of the first inning, and then exploded for seven in the fourth stanza. Drew Butler cracked a solo home run, his fourth round-tripper of the season. Ryan Schweers and Christian Muscarello each accounted for two-RBI singles in the inning. Trinity closed out the opener with a run in each of the final three innings.

But, that would be it for the Mountaineers, as the Tigers countered with three runs in the top of the third. Connor Moore and Carter McEachern each produced RBI singles. Trinity added two runs in the fourth inning, and had one each in the fifth and sixth. The sixth-inning run was courtesy of Jeremy Wolf's solo homer, his second four-bagger of the campaign. The Tigers capped it off with a two-run eighth inning.

Wolf batted 2-4 with three RBI, while scoring a run. Pat Hirschberg hit 3-5 with an RBI, two runs and a double.  Michael Walker (4-1) started on the mound, and had eight innings of work.
