Baseball Falls at USF, Rubber Match set for Saturday
Mar 30, 2018 | Baseball
TAMPA, Fla. – Tulane baseball fell at USF 14-3 Friday evening at USF Baseball Stadium as the Bulls evened the American Athletic Conference series with the Green Wave.
Â
The rubber match between the Green Wave (12-16, 3-2 American) and Bulls (19-9, 3-2 American) is noon CT Saturday. The game will be broadcast on 88.3 FM WRBH or via TuneIn Radio. Tulane won the series opener, 3-2, Thursday night.
Â
Junior outfielder Tyler Heinrichs hit his first career home run – a three-run blast in the seventh inning. USF scored all 14 runs in the first four innings, including eight runs in the second.
Â
"We can't afford to get that far down out of the gate," Tulane head coach Travis Jewett said. "We have a chance to win the series tomorrow, and we have to come out ready to play."
Â
Heinrichs put Tulane on the board in the seventh with his pinch-hit three-run opposite field blast off the video board in right center. His homer followed walks to sophomore infielder Alex Galy and freshman catcher Frankie Niemann.
Â
Junior center fielder Grant Witherspoon hit two doubles, and Tulane finished with seven hits as sophomore third baseman Kody Hoese, junior right fielder Ty Johnson, junior first baseman Trevor Jensen and freshman outfielder Stephen Sepcich all collected a hit. Sepcich doubled down the left field line in the ninth and Jensen reached three times with a pair of walks.
Â
USF scored 14 runs on 18 hits, scoring one run in the first, eight in the second, two in the third and three runs in the fourth. First baseman Joe Genord hit two home runs and recorded five RBI and center fielder Duke Stunkel had four RBI.
Â
Peter Strzelecki (5-1) earned the win for the Bulls while graduate senior Ben White (0-2) took the loss for Tulane. Sophomores Robert Price and Trent Johnson combined to pitch four scoreless relief frames to end the game.
