Trinity Softball returns home to face Sewanee University after winning a series on the road.
The Tigers (20-8-1) came home with two wins and a loss against the Southwestern Pirates last weekend, winning the series. The Tigers rallied in the first game to collect 15 total hits in an 8-3 win against Southwestern. Samantha Tagawa (Agoura Hills, Calif. / Agoura Hills) had a dominant weekend at the plate, hitting .500 with 6 hits in 12 ABs. Mariana Garcia (Goodyear, Ariz. / Canyon View) was outstanding, hitting .636 with 7 hits in 11 ABs. Hannah Boudreaux (Pearland, Texas / Shadow Creek) and Josephine Koelewyn (Reno, Nev. / Academy for Arts Careers and Technology) each sent a ball flying over the left field wall in the first game, certainly contributing to the Tigers' win.
