Update: Pictures from Minnesota (scroll down a little)
Also, Baseball America interviews a few National League scouts who views Shooter Hunt as a sure-fire No.1 or No. 2 starter. Can't say I disagree.
Tulane baseball (6-2) finished out a rough weekend in Minnesota with a win over an impressive TCU team. Due to unfortunate tournament scheduling, Shooter Hunt and the Green Wave had to go up against Pepperdine ace Brett Hunter. Hunt and Hunter gave up two runs a piece, but the Tulane bullpen gave up two runs in the last to innings, while Waves reliever Nick Gaudi pitched two shutout innings to seal a 4-2 victory for Pepperdine.
While Pepperdine was bound to be a tough matchup, the loss to Minnesota on Saturday was more of a shocker. Tulane led until the eighth inning, when Vanderbilt transfer Josh Zeid and righthander Preston Claiborne gave up four runs to give Minnesota a 7-5 lead and eventually the win.
The bullpen rebounded today against TCU after freshman Robbie Broach gave up three runs in six innings. Freshman Nick Pepitone gave up a hit in 1.1 innings, and closer Mason Griffin retired the last four batters for the save. Junior Seth Henry had a pair of hits while junior Aja Barto hit a solo homer.
Overall, it wasn't an ideal weekend (especially after losing to the Gophers), but at least the team left with a win. UNO, Southern and UC Irvine loom this weekend.

Shooter Hunt is a sure 1st round draft pick this year. His Record only looks bad due to lack of run support last year and it appears it'll be the same this year.
