SHERMAN, Texas - The Austin College softball team battled but came up short in a pair of games against Trinity on Saturday afternoon at Sherman High School, falling 5-1 in game one and 8-1 in a game two that was called after five innings due to darkness. The 'Roos are now 0-10 overall and 0-2 in conference play.
The opening game of the day was scoreless until the top of the third, when Trinity managed to get the first run across when Angela Baltzell scored on a wild pitch. The 'Roos evened things up in the bottom half of the inning, as Chyrsi Hemby came home on an error to make it a 1-1 game. That remained the score until the sixth, when the Tigers plated three runs to push it to a 4-1 game, and they'd tack on one more in the seventh while the 'Roos were unable to counter in their final set of at-bats.
Lauren Trott absorbed the loss for the 'Roos, giving up five runs on 12 hits in a complete game performance, while Josephine Koelewyn got the win for Trinity after going the distance and giving up an unearned run on six hits. Hemby and Jadyn Myers were each 2-for-4 to lead Austin College at the dish, and Koelewhyn was 3-for-3 for Trinity.
Game two saw Trinity get on the board with a pair of runs in the first, with Leah Gonzalez and Jordan Arce each doubling home a run. Three more runs came across for the Tigers in the third to push it to a 5-0 game, and Trinity pushed the margin to 8-0 with three more scores in the top of the fourth. Austin College got one run back in the bottom half of the inning on an RBI single by Reagan Brinkley, but after the game became official through five innings, the decision was made to call the game due to darkness.
Alexus Johnson took the loss for Austin College after surrendering eight runs on 11 hits with eight strikeouts in 5.0 innings, while Arce got the win for Trinity, giving up one run on two hits in 5.0 innings in the circle. Brinkley and Tori Fowler each had a hit for the 'Roos, while Arce and Mariana Garcia both went 2-for-3 with three RBI to pace the Tigers.
Austin College and Trinity will wrap up the series on Sunday afternoon with first pitch scheduled for noon.
