AUSTIN, Texas - The Concordia Texas baseball team was victorious against 12th-ranked Trinity University. Leadoff hitter Colby Christian went yard twice & Chris Morrow also homered at Gardner-Boggs Field on Tuesday.

Concordia got on the scoreboard first in the bottom of the second when a sacrifice fly by Aaron Gomez scored Kalen Clark. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead in the top of the third, but Christian then hammered his homer deep to left for a 2-2 score.

Trinity responded with three runs in the fourth for a 5-2 lead, but a two-run shot by Christian & a solo homer by Chris Morrow tied the game in the fifth. Later in the frame with the bases loaded, Gomez was walked to score Brandon Goynes.

CTX made it a 7-5 game when Goynes laid down a bunt that scored Christian for his third run in the sixth. The Tornados then added another insurance run when Efren Sanchez Jr. laid down a bases-loaded bunt to score Matthew Armes in the seventh. 

Down to their final three outs, Trinity loaded the bases with an 8-5 CTX lead. The Tigers scored two runs, but Concordia would close out their opponents for the win.
