LP: Ava Trevino (0-8)

Trinity jumped out to a comfortable lead early. They scored two runs on two hits in the second, then scored three runs on four hits and an error in the third to take a 5-0 lead after three.

The Crusaders were held hitless all the way until the seventh inning.  They managed to get a couple of baserunners on two walks in the third, but could do nothing with them.

The two sides traded blows in the fifth and sixth.  Trinity made it 6-0 in the fifth, stringing three straight hits together, then Dallas got on the board with an RBI groundout by Katie Duffy-Relf, taking advantage of another pair of walks.

In the sixth, Trinity scored on a wild pitch, then Lizette Sosa made it 7-2 with an RBI groundout after an error, a walk, and a wild pitch put runners on second and third.

Dallas had all the making of a late rally, loading the bases with no outs on two singles and a walk.  Though they plated one run, a double play and a strikeout ended the threat nearly as soon as it began, as Trinity completed the series sweep.

The Crusaders are on the road next week to face St. Thomas.  They will play a double header on Saturday, April 6 starting at 12:00 pm.
