BB: SCAC: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Trinity has an infielder named Tinker (Kai Tinker). He should be playing shortstop not third base. We probably need to talk to Coach Scannell about that.

Trinity finally figured out SUNY Cortland over the weekend after dropping the initial games on in the series 3-11 and 5-8.  Yesterday saw the Tigers out to a 9-4 lead only to have the Red Dragons tie it up with 4 in the top of the seventh and an unearned run off a throwing error in the eighth.  In their half of the inning the Tigers got four runs, with the eventual winning run in the 13-9 win being scored by the aforementioned Kai Tinker.  Today, in their ninth game in ten days, Trinity trotted out Jace Clay who went 7 1/3rd innings in a comfortable 7-2 victory.  The only Red Dragon to figure out Clay was DH Marc Stockhausen, who hit solo shots in his first two appearances at the plate to give the visitors their only runs on the day.  Mr. Tinker (2-4) had the only multi-hit effort for Trinity (edit) in the second game.  Surprisingly, the two Red Dragon victories last week were the first in program history against Trinity (now 2-6).

With three losses in the six games this week, I'd expect Trinity to drop out of the top 15 and end up in the high teens.  Maybe lower, don't really know what else happened since last week.
