HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Tulane University baseball team suffered its third loss of the 2022 campaign Wednesday night, as it dropped a 7-2 decision to Southern Miss inside Pete Taylor Park on Hill Denson Field.

Tulane collected five hits and left four on the bases. In the end, their performance couldn't hold on to that of Southern Miss.

Southern Miss struck first, as it plated three runs in the bottom of the second, but the Green Wave responded with a run in the top half of the fourth thanks to a throwing error from the Golden Eagles which scored sophomore Bennett Lee, who reached base thanks to a fielder's choice.

Sophomore Ethan Groff and redshirt junior Jared Hart would each pick up a pair of hits while sophomore Chase Engelhard would add a double in the top of the ninth.

Tulane threatened to score in the eighth, as it put a runner in scoring position, but that was as close as it would get after Southern Miss pitchers retired 14 of the next 17 Green Wave batters.

Graduate student Carter Robinson suffered the loss and dropped to 1-1 on the year after he worked 5.1 innings, struck out four and gave up three earned runs.

Southern Miss's Tanner Hall picked up the win for the Golden Eagles after he went 8.0 innings and struck out eight batters.
