PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill. – Twenty-four hits over two games is normally enough to get at least one win, unless the opponent finishes the day with 32 hits. That was the case on Tuesday, April 27 when the Trinity Christian College baseball team hosted league leading St. Ambrose University (Iowa). The Trolls dropped both ends of the double header, 19-8 and 10-6, but not for lack of offense. Oliver Carmody produced multiple hits in each game, finishing the day 5-for-9 with two doubles and five runs scored.
