Cortland finds veteran Trinity TX quite formidable in Sunday action in cold, overcast San Antonio and loses 10-5 verdict. Second game of possible doubleheader cancelled, leaving Cortland with an 0-2 weekend against the likewise debuting Tigers.

Host Tigers send 10 to the plate in four-run, five-hit first inning. RDragons in major futile chase mode thereafter. C-land uses six pitchers -- starter Z. Durant (LP), R. Flansburg, J. Casey, N. Morena, A. Barnes, M. Cavanagh. Trinity with 15 hits (John Tucker 3x5, r, 5bi) and errorless defense. Cortland collects 13 hits -- Scottie Giordano 3x5,  2bh; Wyatt Myers 2x4, r, 2bi, hr; catcher James Varian 3x5, 2bi, hr, 2bh. Four Dragon errors. Trinity frontline pitcher James Nittoli wins it (5.1inn, 8h, 2r, 2er, 0bb, 6k)

Sorry about the unfavorable weather that we had last weekend.  Cortland must have brought a cold front with them.
