Trinity University's baseball team has faced a tough stretch, losing three games in a row before returning home to face Concordia University and losing a close 5-4 game. The Tigers then traveled to Georgia, splitting a series with Oglethorpe University before sweeping a two-game set against Berry College. Despite trailing in multiple games, Trinity was able to rally and secure the series win over Berry. The Tigers now sit at 16-11 on the season and will head to Georgetown, Texas to face Southwestern University.
