SAN ANTONIO – Trinity baseball returned to the diamond Thursday, hosting the team that ended its National Championship dreams.
Defending champions University of Wisconsin-Whitewater took home the first game in the four-game weekend series against Trinity, defeating the Tigers 6-2.
UW-Whitewater was first on the board after a two-out double, bringing home two runners in the first inning.
Trinity cut the Warhawks’ lead in half off a single to left-center, but it would be one of only two runs for the Tigers.
By the seventh inning, UW-Whitewater had amassed a 6-1 lead.
The Tigers added a run in the eighth inning with the bases loaded.
Nicholas Jones hit a ball to third, allowing Kaleb Woodward to score while the Warhawks recorded the out at first, but it would be the final run of the night.
The four-game series continues with a doubleheader Friday at 4 and 7 p.m. before wrapping up with a 9 a.m. game on Saturday at Trinity Baseball Field.
