The Trinity University Baseball Team finished one of the most intense and action packed weeks of the year just in time for the Spring Break.
The team played nine games in 10 days between March 4 and 14, amounting to 82 innings all together. The Tigers won seven of these nine games to stand at 17-4 at the end of the 10-day stretch.
The tournament started with the Tigers playing a three-game series at Texas Lutheran University on March 4. After winning two of the three games, the team returned home to prepare for their upcoming games.
However, a severe storm and rain caused a cancellation of a game scheduled for March 9. After waiting for two days for the rain to die down, Trinity proceeded to play five hard fought games in the following five days, against DeSales University of Pennsylvania, Denison University of Ohio and three games against Southwestern University of Texas.
Trinity won four of those five games, including a dominant win against Southwestern behind the arm of junior starting pitcher Troy Nelson.

“I feel great about what the team has done so far and the potential for what we could do this season,” said Nelson. “I think the overall goal is to make it back to the regional tournament and give ourselves a chance to make it back to the World Series.”
Head coach Tim Scannell was happy with team's performances. "We played a ton of games against a number of talented teams. Our team did well to come out 7-2 especially considering the busy week," he said. "Conference play is extremely important and we need to continue to play well and attack throughout the rest of the season."
The two games Trinity lost were to Texas Lutheran and Southwestern University, respectively.
Trinity baseball team was recently ranked second nationally in Division III.
Next, the team will face the University of Dallas in a three-game series on March 19 and 20.
