Trinity Christian On To Fort Myers To Defend 2A
The Trinity Christian Warriors are not ready to relinquish their title yet. The reigning champions of Class 2A earned a return trip to the state tournament in Fort Myers next week, thanks to a 6-0 victory over Miami Christian on Tuesday afternoon.
Angel Tiburcio tossed a complete-game shutout to lead the Warriors (20-6) to the road victory. The junior right-hander allowed three hits and two walks while striking out seven, and he added a three-run home run at the plate to back his own cause.
Bertram Murray got things going right away for Trinity, reaching on a single with one out in the top of the first and then scoring when Kaeber Rog reached on an error. Murray had a big day at the plate to lead all hitters, going 3-for-5 with two runs.
Jorge Zambrano was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run, and Serwin Kastaneer singled and scored as the Warriors added on to their lead to pull away late.
