PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Concordia University Wisconsin baseball team fell to Trinity College in its final game at the Pensacola Challenge on Sunday afternoon. The loss snapped the Falcons' four-game winning streak as they moved to 4-9 on the season.
 
Sunday's matchup marked just the second meeting between the two programs, with the previous contest coming in 2013 when the Bantams also earned the victory.
 
The Falcons were held scoreless through the first five innings while Trinity built a 5-0 lead. CUW responded in the sixth inning with a five-run rally to even the score.
 
The Falcons quickly loaded the bases as sophomore Graham Kasten (Mequon, Wis.) drew a walk, junior Connor Lasch (Chicago, Ill.) was hit by a pitch and freshman Jack Anzelmo (Appleton, Wis.) singled. Senior Tyler Murray (Kankakee, Ill.) was then hit by a pitch to bring home the first Falcon run, and freshman Cameron Bueno (Milwaukee, Wis.) followed with a bases-loaded walk to plate another.
 
Later in the inning, senior Brandon McCray (Corona, Claif.) delivered an RBI single and freshman Mick Vagner (Crown Point, Ind.) lifted a sacrifice fly to right field, helping Concordia Wisconsin complete the five-run frame and tie the game at 5-5.
 
The contest remained deadlocked until the ninth inning when Trinity pushed across the go-ahead run to secure the 6-5 win.
 
Vagner led the team with the sole double of the contest, while also stealing a base. Freshman Jameson Dick (Chesapeake, Va.) also secured a stolen base against the Bantams.
 
Freshman Jack Stuck (Bayside, Wis.) made the start on the mound for the Falcons, while freshman Russell Roodenburg (Scottsdale, Ariz.) entered in relief in the sixth inning. The duo combined for 10 strikeouts without issuing a walk. Stuck was charged with the loss and falls to 0-3 on the season.
 
CUW will open NACC play on Saturday at Concordia Chicago. The doubleheader is scheduled to begin at noon in River Forest, Illinois
