Baseball Experiences Ups and Downs (4/1/08)
As the Trolls move through their schedule they experienced both ends of the spectrum of scoring margins. They grabbed two mercy rule victories over Indiana University-Northwest and then had the tables reversed in a conference game at Saint Xavier University.
 
Against IU-Northwest the Trolls took charge of both games of the double header. They ended the first game after five innings as they shut-out the Redhawks 14-0. The second game went into the sixth inning before the Trolls’ ten run advantage ended the game at 12-2.
 
The Trolls faced much stiffer competition on Tuesday in a conference match-up at Saint Xavier University.  The first half of the game remained close as the Trolls only trailed 1-2 at the close of five innings. However Saint Xavier pulled away in the sixth inning with seven runs and was able to end the game in the eighth inning when two more runs made it 11-1.
 
The Trolls only had three hits for the game while the Cougars tallied 16.
 
Trinity will continue conference action on April 5 in a double-header at Purdue-North Central at 12:00 pm.
