Despite the cold and wet playing conditions in San Antonio, TX, The University of Dallas baseball team managed to fit in a nine inning game, instead of the scheduled doubleheader, today against Trinity University. Like many of UDs games this year, this one was a high scoring affair, and also, unfortunately, like many of the games, the Crusaders came up short of their opponent, losing 14-9 in 9 innings. 

A common trend for the Crusaders this year has been that of falling behind early and today's game was no exception to that trend. After a big 8 run 4th inning, Trinity entered the 5th with an 11-2 lead, and although UD outplayed Trinity over the next 5 innings it was too little to late; they could not overcome the large Trinity lead.

Designated hitter Michael Morrison (Dallas, TX/Lake Hill Prep) had a career day for the Crusaders, recording 2 hits (both doubles), and ended the day with a total of 4 RBI. Also adding 2 RBI was left fielder freshman outfielder Nico Caluda (New Orleans, LA/Jesuit H.S.). Sophomore infielder/outfielder Brian Shelburne (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth H.S.) collected 2 hits and scored twice, and senior infielder Sean McSheffery (Woodridge, IL/Downers Grove North) joined Shelburne by scoring twice.

The Crusaders will finish their series tomorrow against Trinity in a doubleheader scheduled to start at 1:00pm.
