The Herd come out with the victory tonight 7-4. Pitcher Steve Blevins threw 151 total pitches and got the complete game victory. The Wave fall to 21-9 on the year with the rubber game coming up tomorrow at 1 pm.
After six innings, the Herd still lead by 2, at 6-4. Loup was replaced after 4 1/3 innings and gave up 5 runs (2 earned). Marshall scored three runs in the top of the fifth to make 5-1 but the Wave responded with 1 in the bottom of the inning and two in the bottom of the sixth on a home run by Sam Honeck.
Through the first three innings, Marshall has a 2-0 lead over the Wave. Marshall scored their runs on a single and then a throwing error by Rob Segedin in the top of the third. The Wave have mustered just one hit so far, but have drawn two walks. Aaron Loup has given up just three hits, but has struggled with his control and has walked three batters. It could be a quick outing for Loup as he has thrown 70 pitches already.

Baseball Falls to SELA, 12-11
Well I was way off about this being a low-scoring game. The Green Wave scored three runs in the ninth inning, but the game-tying run was gunned down at the plate and Tulane fell 12-11. Starter Jonathan Garret only lasted three innings, giving up two runs on five hits. But reliever Trey Martin and Preston Claiborne struggled mightily, giving up a combined 10 runs in four innings.
Tulane is now 1-4 away from Turchin-Greer, a disturbing fact to consider as conference play approaches. Still, a lot of the young players will continue to improve over the next few months.

Baseball taking on SELA tonight
Well, the staff along with the rest of the student body is back from Spring Break. After a great weekend against lowly Oakland, the Green Wave will take on Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond. The Lions have struggled behind the plate this season, so expect Tulane starter Jonathan Garret, who is sporting a 2.31 ERA in four starts, to have a good night. Lefty Adam Jones (1-0, 3.38) will start for the Lions. You can keep track of the game using CSTV's gametracker and then check back with us for a recap and quotes.

Tulane 4, Northwestern State 3
The Green Wave topped Northwestern State 4-3 in 11 innings Tuesday night thanks to a two-out, game-winning single by Warren McFadden. The hit was poetic justice for the junior, who has struggled mightily so far this season with runners on base.
While it may not seem like it from the final result, the Green Wave offense took a more aggressive approach and hit the ball well. While in the short term it resulted in a low pitch-count for Northwestern State starter Kyle Broughton (89 pitches in almost 8 innings), it should payoff in the long run for guys who have been tentative at the plate so far this season.

Post Game Quotes vs. East Carolina
Senior forward David Gomez
On getting a win in his final home game
"I can't stop smiling. We've been in this situation before and the efforts have been real close. It's only fitting that we go out on top in a close game like this."
"Give East Carolina a lot of credit. They were draining threes all game but we hung in there, grabbed some big rebounds, and scored when we had to at the end."
On looking ahead to the conference tournament
"This definitely gives us great motivation. I'm really excited about going to Memphis and see what we're going to do."
Senior forward Donnie Stith
On finally getting a win in a close game
"We've lost three close games this season and we made the plays we had to at the end and pulled it out."
On playing his final home game
"My mom, dad, uncle, and aunt were here and it was great to play in front of them because they haven't seen me play in a while. It was great for all three seniors to go out with a bang."
On looking ahead to the conference tournament
"Our confidence never really wavered but it does feel good to get a win going into the conference tournament."
On making the two free throws to give the Wave a 2 point lead with 4 seconds left
"I just told myself that we got to win this game. I stepped up, took my time, and knocked them down."
Head coach Dave Dickerson
On breaking the slide
"Im just proud of our team and especially our seniors for having the fortitude, toughness, and character to stick with it. I've seen a lot of teams that would have quit."
"Hats off to our seniors. We're not where we are as a program without those three guys."
On the team's response to East Carolina's hot shooting
"They (ECU) made 12 threes and Jenkins was playing lights out. But our guys were determined not to lose this game. Dave (Gomez) came to the bench one time and said we're not going to lose this game."
On the play of the frontcourt
"The strength of our team are those guys up front. They continued to play like they have all season. Dave and Donnie delivered tonight but Kevin (Sims) and Eric (Vianney) played incredibly well."
On back to back winning seasons
"What I'm trying to do here at Tulane is raise the bar for the entire program. We have a chance to be good if we do certain things the right way."
"We have to start some way. First back to back winning seasons in a decade. I'm disappointed that we lost 8 games in a row but this is the best I've felt in a long, long time."
On looking ahead to the conference tournament
"This win should give us great confidence going into the tournament. We've had classic games against both UTEP and Tulsa and there are some things we can draw on from both of those games. March Madness is an entirely different beast and we have to re-invent ourselves in order to be ready to play either of those teams"
