BRIDGEWATER, Va.  — The Trinity College baseball team suffered a tough loss after Bridgewater College rallied back for the 10-8 win on Sunday. The Bantams fell to 3-3 on the season, while the Eagles moved to 8-12. Trinity plays a doubleheader at Washington and Lee University on Monday with a 4 p.m. first pitch.

Trinity opened up with three scoreless innings with Alex Chang (Port Washington, N.Y.) on the mound and scored a trio of runs initiated by Jack Ryan's two-run homerun also brought home rookie Tyler Bernstein (Ponte Verda, Fla.) in the first inning. Chang's first pitch was a walk, but the right-hander recovered with two-straight strikeouts, followed by a fly out to right fielder Colin Mann (Dedham, Mass.). In the third frame, Bernstein tripled through the right side to allow Jack Mathews (Westport, Conn.) to cross home and put the Navy & Gold, 3-0. Chang struck out his second Eagle swinging in the third inning. Patrick Dillon (Bronx, N.Y.) kept the Bantams hot with a sacrifice fly to bring Ryan around the bags after the junior positioned himself in scoring position with an advance to third off a wild pitch.

Jeffery Snider reached first base off an error by the second basement and put the Eagles on the board in the fourth inning three batters later of a single to right center by Jonathon Sexton. Bridgewater State continued to pack on the runs with five more in the frame to take its first lead of the game, 6-4. Brandon Chow (Greenwich, Conn.) singled through the right side in the fifth inning and landed on third off a Bernstein single, before Sean Meth (Port Washington, N.Y.) brought the senior home off a single to centerfield. On the next play Meth and Bernstein moved one bag off a steal followed by a two-bagger to left center by Ryan and allowed the duo to score to put Trinity up, 7-6. Bernstein's second triple of the contest sent first-year William Sawyer (Easthampton, Mass.) home to pad the Bantam lead by one. Four runs across the sixth, seventh and eighth innings flipped the in Bridgewater State's favor for the 10-8 win, including a pair in the seventh frame.

Bernstein went 3-3 on the day with a trio of runs and brought one Bantam home, while Ryan hit two of four with a pair of runs and four RBIs. Chang struck out five Eagles in 3.2 innings of work.
