SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Senior Jack Peterson (Round Rock, Texas) clubbed a pair of home runs among his three hits and knocked in four while junior Jackson Teer (San Antonio, Texas) struck out 14 batters in a scoreless seven-inning stint as No. 22 Trinity University completed a three-game sweep over visiting Babson College with a 16-6 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Trinity Baseball Field. 

Babson opens the season at 0-3 while Trinity starts 3-0.

Senior Brant Savage (Charlton, Mass.) and sophomore Zander Teator (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) had two hits apiece to lead the Beavers, and senior Tanner Santos (Bethany, Conn.) had a single and drove in a pair. Senior Ike Kiely (Falmouth, Maine) hit his first home run of the season, graduate student John Nowak (Pelham, N.Y.) contributed a pinch-hit RBI single and junior Justin Guest (West Windsor, N.J.) added a double and a stolen base.

Sophomore James Clark (Southborough, Mass.) struck out five in the first three innings for the Green and White but was tagged for six runs and took the loss. Senior Jimmy Weick (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) had a solid performance in relief, working two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and a walk and fanning four.

Teer was dominant on the mound for the Tigers, allowing just one hit and one walk. Senior Alex Monson (Houston, Texas) had a single and a double and knocked in four runs and classmate Christian Holloway (Brownsville, Texas) had two hits and a walk along with two RBI for the hosts. Sophomore Khalfani Coney (Los Angeles, Calif.) added a single and two RBI, and juniors Max Milligan (Amarillo, Texas) and Nicholas Lazzara (Carrollton, Texas) and first-year Diego Gomez (Pharr, Texas) each drove in a run.

Monson delivered a bases-clearing three-run double in the first inning to give the Tigers an early lead. Holloway produced an RBI single to left in the third inning, consecutive wild pitches and an infield grounder led to a pair of runs in the fourth, and Peterson's homer to right capped a three-run rally in the fifth as the Trinity lead ballooned to 9-0.

The Tigers blew the game open with a seven-spot in the sixth inning, including an RBI single by Monson, a two-run single to right center by Coney, and a three-run blast by Peterson over the right center field fence.

Babson got on the board with a run in the eighth inning on Kiely's lead-off home run to right field. The Beavers put two more runners on base with a single by Teator and double by Guest, but they were stranded after a fly out to end the inning.

The Green and White tacked on five runs in the ninth inning. Nowak hit an RBI single through the left side, Santos added a two-run single to left, and two runs came home on a Trinity throwing error.

The Beavers will play again when they begin their Florida trip against Heidelberg on March 8 at the Snowbird Classic in Port Charlotte. Trinity will host Wisconsin-Whitewater in a four-game series beginning on Thursday.
