Tigers Drop Midweek Contest at Tulane

New Orleans, La. | The Grambling State University baseball team battled hard, but ultimately fell to Tulane in a midweek scrap, 9-4 at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium on Wednesday night.
 
GSU (2-9) scattered five hits in the contest and committed three errors on defense. Tulane (9-4) utilized home runs and timely hits to subdue the Tigers. 
 
Carlos Peguero (0-3) got the start on the mound for GSU, fanning two batters in 3.1 innings of work. He surrendered four earned runs on five hits and three walks. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Grambling State got on the board first in the top of the third inning. The Tigers got the first batters on base via back-to-back walks. Following a dropped third strike that allowed runners to advance to second and third, Tiger Borom hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to give GSU a 1-0 lead. Borom went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
  • Tulane responded quickly in the bottom of the frame on a leadoff homer from Gavin Schultz to square the game 1-1. The Green Wave pushed in front 2-1 on fielder's choice later in the inning.
  • The Tigers tied the score 2-2 in the top of the fourth on an RBI from DeMarckus Smiley. 
  • In the bottom of the inning, Peguero hit TU's leadoff batter, Reed Kellum. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, Kellum scored on an RBI single through the left side of the infield by J. Linn making it 3-2 Tulane. Jackson Linn advanced to second base on a fielding error by Borom. 
  • Phillip Bryant replaced Peguero with one out and two runners on base in the fourth inning. After Bryant hit the first batter he faced, a wild pitch plated the Green Wave's fourth run of the game, giving them a 2-run cushion. 
  • With Tulane ahead 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth, following another GSU pitching change, Teo Banks hit a 2-run home run, putting the Tigers in a five-run hole. 
  • Grambling State did try to rally in the eighth inning, trimming Tulane's lead to 7-4, but tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the frame.
