CINCINNATI - Senior Jared Berkowitz became the winningest pitcher in Tulane (19-11-1, 6-2-1 C-USA) history as the Green Wave completed a three game sweep of Conference USA rival Cincinnati (19-9, 4-5 C-USA) with a 12-5 win on Sunday.
Berkowitz (7-1) went 6 2/3 innings scattered nine hits and struck out seven to pick up the 33 win of his Tulane career.
