Baseball Completes 10-Run Comeback to Beat Houston, 17-16
Apr 14, 2018 | Baseball
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane scored nine runs in the last two innings, including five runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, to overcome a 10-run deficit and defeat Houston, 17-16, in the highest scoring American Athletic Conference game in league history Friday night at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Sophomore third baseman Kody Hoese hit a three-run home run with two outs in the ninth to tie the game, 16-16. Sophomore second baseman Jonathon Artigues followed with a double, stole third base, and scored the winning run on a passed ball. It was the second straight walkoff win for the Green Wave (15-20, 5-5 American), which beat UNO 4-3 in the ninth inning on Tuesday.
Tulane trailed 12-2 in the fourth and 13-3 in the sixth inning, then outscored the Cougars (20-13, 6-4 American) 14-3 in the final three-and-a-half frames to win the series opener.
The remainder of the series is postponed until Sunday due to impending inclement weather on Saturday. Tulane and Houston will play a doubleheader Sunday beginning at noon. Per conference rules, the first game of the doubleheader will be seven innings, and the second game will be nine innings.
"I don't know if I've been involved in anything like that," Tulane head coach Travis Jewett said. "You get around baseball long enough, you see a lot of crazy things, and tonight was one of those for sure. I'm really proud of the kids. One thing we did tonight that we haven't done much (this year), is we've found ourselves down big and haven't had much fight, but tonight they just kept fighting.
"Each guy up and down the lineup just kept narrowing the gap and narrowing the gap. When you do that, you can get in ranges. We inserted some kids in the lineup, and the guys that came in, whether it was Frankie (Niemann) or Grant (Mathews) or (Luke) Glancy, they all contributed. It's fun to see the kids celebrate like that together and enjoy winning, which we know is tough in this conference."
Graduate senior Ben White (2-3) pitched a scoreless ninth inning in relief and earned the win while Carter Henry (3-1) took the loss for Houston.
Each team scored two runs in the second inning, but then Houston delivered a big blow with a 10-run fourth inning. Tulane responded with one run to make it 12-3, but the Cougars added a single run in the sixth and seventh innings, then two in the eighth to total 16 runs. The Green Wave, however, began chipping away with two runs in the sixth, three runs in the seventh, then four in the eighth to cut it to 16-12, and finally, five runs in the ninth.
Artigues (4-for-5) and Hoese (3-for-5) each finished the game with three RBI and three runs scored. Sophomores Grant Mathews and Luke Glancy and freshman Frankie Niemann – all late game substitutions – combined to score eight runs on 5-for-7 hitting with four RBI.
Niemann, who led off the eighth inning with his first career base hit, started the ninth inning with a single. He reached second safely on an error off Glancy's fielder's choice grounder, then scored on Mathews' two-out bouncing single to second base. Hoese followed with the three-run home run, his second of the season, to tie the game at 16-all.
In the eighth, Glancy delivered a two-run double, Artigues drew a bases-loaded walk, and sophomore shortstop Sal Gozzo hit a sacrifice fly to plate four runs and cut the deficit to 16-12. In the seventh, Mathews hit a pinch-hit RBI single, and Artigues drove a two-run double to right field to make it 14-8.
Junior right fielder Tyler Heinrichs drove in three runs on a two-run double in the second inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Gozzo also hit an RBI single in the sixth. The two sixth-inning runs made the score 13-5 after Houston scored one in the top half of the inning.
Artigues scored an unearned run in the fourth inning when junior center fielder Grant Witherspoon reached on an error. Witherspoon singled and scored a run in the eighth inning. Freshman designated hitter David Bedgood scored runs in the seventh and eighth innings after he reached on catcher's interference in the seventh inning and was hit by a pitch in the eighth. In all, eight different players scored at least one run in the game.
This was the second-highest scoring total of the season by Tulane, which topped Wichita State 19-4 in the series opener last Friday. This is the fourth straight series-opening win for the Wave, all in conference play.
