Monday's are usually the worst. Trinity Christian College baseball (6-15, 2-6 CCAC) begs to differ.
The Trolls went on the road and dominated Lincoln College (0-15, 0-6 CCAC) by a final of 13-2. Trinity scored in each of the first five innings and took advantage of eight Lincoln errors.

Cruz guided Trinity in the final three innings to earn the win. He didn't allow a run.

Errors mounted in the third inning for Lincoln, and the Trolls scored two runs on a throwing error. A wild pitch scored senior Nicolas Gutierrez and Trinity had a commanding 6-2 lead.
Junior Jordan Veldman had a big day at the plate and in the fifth inning his RBI double extended the Trolls lead to 11-2. Veldman finished 2-for-3 with a run scored and two walks.
Cruz wrapped up the game with a three-up, three-down seventh inning and the Trolls went on for the 13-2 victory.
