After that game, the Trolls hit the field again to play the Mount Marty Lancers. The Lancers had a huge start to the game, recording five runs in the first two innings. From there, freshman Lauryn Brown was able to bring in a run for Trinity. From there, the Lancers scored four more runs, causing Trinity to lose 1-9 in the fifth.
