Dallas came out swinging in the opener, posting a 12-9 victory behind a balanced offensive attack. Luke Gill's two-run homer and Nate Curtis' three-hit, two-RBI performance fueled the Crusaders' charge. Reed Morales added two RBIs, while Andrew Gaspar drove in three, including a key sacrifice fly.

In the second game, the Crusaders' bats went cold, managing just one hit in a 11-0 shutout loss. Cody Jenkins provided the lone hit, while the rest of the lineup struggled to find a rhythm against Trinity's pitching. Defensive lapses and a strong offensive effort proved too much, as Dallas failed to build on their earlier success.

Dallas will look to bounce back as they continue their SCAC series tomorrow.
