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.
