Around the Horn
Tulane opens the 112th season of Green Wave baseball this weekend with a three-game series against the George Washington Colonials at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Tulane has won each of its last seven season-opening games dating back to the start of the 2012 season.

Since the start of the program, Tulane is 66-46 all-time in the first game of the year.

The Green Wave are looking to claim the season-opening series for the second consecutive year and eighth time in the last nine seasons.

Friday opens a stretch of eight consecutive home games to start the year against the Colonials, Lamar and Ole Miss over the course of the next two weeks.

Coach Jewett on opening weekend and looking at the season…
"Excited. Anytime you reach this time of the year, last year is last year and this year is this year. I think all of our anticipations, and our desires, is to win more. We've talked a lot about it, and we've been rehearsing it more in scrimmages and in daily competition. We've been trying to drive that competitive meter and I feel like the kids are ready."

Tulane hosts the Lamar Cardinals for a two-game midweek series beginning Tuesday in New Orleans.
