Trinidad Triggers go 4-2 in high-scoring Pecos League week
Three double-digit scoring games lifted Trinidad to a 4-2 Pecos League week, capped by Hudler's 5-for-5, seven-RBI eruption and a series win over Garden City.
The Trinidad Triggers turned a run-filled Pecos League week into a 4-2 record, with three double-digit scoring games, a series win over the Garden City Wind and a one-run victory over the Grand Junction Razorback Suckers. In Trinidad, that kind of offense keeps Central Park lively and keeps the Triggers in the middle of the Mountain Division conversation.
The biggest swing came in a 16-10 win over Garden City on June 17, when Will Hudler went 5-for-5 with five runs scored, seven RBIs and two home runs. Michael Acosta added a three-run homer and drove in four more, and Trinidad finished with 15 hits in a game that stayed in motion from start to finish.
The next night showed how quickly Pecos League games can flip. Garden City answered with a 15-3 win on June 18 after scoring 14 runs in the final three innings, a reminder that the same lineup-heavy style that fuels Trinidad can also erase a lead in a hurry. Even so, the Triggers kept their footing and did enough over the broader stretch to finish the week 4-2.
Another Trinidad win over Garden City underscored the pressure the Triggers put on opposing pitchers. In that game, Garden City’s staff allowed 16 hits, 15 runs, 13 earned runs, 11 walks and four home runs as Trinidad kept the line moving and forced mistakes across the mound. Hudler’s second homer finished the job after Trinidad had already built a 4-0 lead through three innings and stretched the margin to 14-9.
The Triggers’ week also fit the larger pattern of their early season. Trinidad opened the 2026 campaign on June 1 with a 5-4 walk-off win over the Alpine Cowboys and finished its opening week 5-2. After a 5-1 stretch, the Triggers had moved to 10-3 heading into the next phase, and the split with Grand Junction added another layer to a division race that runs through Trinidad, Garden City and Grand Junction. Trinidad lost 7-5 to the Razorback Suckers on June 7, then came back to beat them 7-6 on June 20, the sort of response that keeps a summer club relevant well beyond the box score.
