The Tigers dog-pile after recording the final out on Championship Sunday!
The Tigers baseball team travelled to Memphis, Tennessee, this past weekend to take part in the 2010 SCAC baseball tournament. Much was at stake in the weekend play as the winner of the tournament would win an automatic big into the NCAA Regionals.
The Tigers started the tournament by beating an Oglethorpe team 11-7 in first round action. In the second round, Trinity out-slugged a tough Austin College team 18-12 to advance to the winner brackets winning 2-0 match-up to face DePauw University. In game three, starting pitcher Ben Klimesh threw a complete game shutout pushing the Tigers into Championship Sunday with an 8-0 victory.
DePauw University rallied from the loser’s bracket beating a good Rhodes program to face Trinity on Championship Sunday. The Tigers trailed 1-0 for much of the game until freshman second baseman John Hall hit a game-tying home run to left field. In the 8th inning Trinity got to DePauw’s bullpen scoring two more runs to take a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th. Trinity’s starting pitcher threw an awesome game going 8-plus strong innings giving up 1 run on 9 hits, while striking out 7, to improve to 5-1 on the year. Ben Klimesh closed the game out in the 9th to secure Trinity’s SCAC-baseball Championship and its NCAA Regional Bid!
The Tigers are now waiting for a regional destination to be selected and are excited to go play anywhere the NCAA sends them!
