Game 5 - West Regional
Story | Box score | Play-by-Play
Georgetown, Texas - The Trinity baseball team eliminated the regional tournament's top seed in Pomona-Pitzer, winning by the final of 6-3 on Friday night. Trinity (37-10) avoided elimination themselves by beating the fifth-ranked team in Division III heading into the tournament.
The Tigers struck first with a run in the sixth to break up a scoreless pitchers' duel. The Sagehens responded with three runs of their own to take the lead in the bottom half. But, Trinity would not be denied the chance at the regional championship game tomorrow, busting loose with a five-run seventh inning to take the lead for good.
Mike Frost went the distance, allowing just three runs on six hits, while allowing just two walks and recording nine strikeouts. Frost was supported by a 10-hit attack from his teammates, who also made just one error in the field in the game.
Jason Armstrong led the way for the Tigers, finishing 3-4 with three RBI in the game. His seventh inning two-run single to left field finished off the high-scoring inning for Trinity, and pushed them to the three-run advantage. Cory Cassell plated two runs as well in the seventh, and Kenneth Sharp was 2-3 with two walks for the Tigers.
Trinity is set to face Concordia, who beat the Tigers 5-2 in today's opening game. Concordia needs just one win to become the regional champs, while Trinity would have to win back-to-back games.
