2012 SEASON IN REVIEW

The baseball squad had one of their best seasons in school history as they finished the regular season 25-18, qualifying for the first ever MIAA Conference Tournament. It was just their second winning season since joining the MIAA.

After splitting their first three conference series, the Thunder began to roll as they swept Olivet and Kalamazoo to clinch a spot in the MIAA tournament. Trine ended their regular season against their toughest opponent in the conference, Adrian, where they split the series, shutting out the Bulldogs twice for the first time since 1997.

At the conference tournament, Trine went 1-2, just missing out on the chance to earn the automatic bid to the regional tournament. The Thunder won their first-ever postseason game in the NCAA with a 6-3 victory over Hope.

Three players were named All-MIAA, including senior Ryan Smith who was named to the First Team for the third straight season. Joining Smith was junior Matt Zurbriggen and senior Josh Rivera who were both named to the All-MIAA Second Team.
