BASEBALL SPLITS WITH TRINTY INTERNATIONAL    (4/26/04)

The baseball let one get away and grabbed one game against Trinity International in a conference double header. This match-up actually started last week, but play was suspended because of rain. With the 1-1 results the Trolls are now 5-12 in the CCAC and 9-20 overall in their final week of conference play. 

The first game picked up from where it left off last Tuesday in the bottom of the second inning with the Trolls up 3-0. Unfortunately for the Trolls did not build on that lead. The 6th inning proved to be the downfall of the game as the team as they gave up 8 runs in that inning. The pitching just wasn't there for the Trolls and the bats were fairly silent. 

In the second game The Trolls were first to score again as they got one run in the 1st inning. Each team also picked up one run in the 2nd inning. The Trolls started their 3rd inning at bat with hits by Andrew Van Byssum and Luke Post. They took advantage of errors and passed balls to score those two runners. They team made the gap 5-1 after 4 inning. TIU got two runs in the 5th and one run in the 6th to make it close, however the Trolls held on for the 5-4 win. 

The team will play next on Tuesday at IIT in a conference game at 3:00 pm.
