LONG BEACH, Calif. – Tulane baseball dropped a 1-0 pitchers' duel in the series finale at Long Beach State Sunday afternoon at Blair Field.
The Green Wave (9-12) finished with one hit – a first inning single by sophomore third baseman Kody Hoese. The Dirtbags (8-12) scored the lone run in the fourth inning to win the series. LBSU won 13-2 on Friday and Tulane won 10-6 on Saturday.
Sophomore Keagan Gillies (2-2) was strong in his start once again, allowing five hits with three strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Junior Will McAffer got the final out of the seventh to strand two baserunners, and then pitched a clean eighth inning to hold the score at 1-0.
"You couldn't ask for more than what Keagan gave us," Tulane head coach Travis Jewett said. "It was good to see him keep doing what he's been doing, and then to get McAffer back out there was good. He was throwing the ball pretty well. What we're struggling to find is consistency. We're going to have to figure out how to play well and then repeat it."
Hoese's single with two outs in the first inning was Tulane's only hit of the game. Tulane loaded the bases with two outs in the third and put two on in the eighth with a pair of walks but was unable to bring a runner home either time.
LBSU scored in the bottom of the fourth on back-to-back singles, including an RBI hit by designated hitter Laine Huffman. Starter Tyler Radcliffe (1-2) pitched 7.0 innings and earned the win.
Gillies worked out of trouble in the second. After a double and a sacrifice bunt, he struck out the next two batters to end the inning. In the sixth, he pitched around a pair of walks to induce an inning-ending flyout and hold the score at 1-0.
Tulane travels up river to face LSU at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in Baton Rouge.
