SEATTLE, WA – Tulane Baseball erupted for a season-high 14 runs and 17 hits in a five-run (14-9) victory over host Washington Wednesday evening at Husky Ballpark in Seattle.

The win, which was the Green Wave's seventh all-time in as many tries against Washington, improved its record to 6-15 overall. The Huskies saw their mark drop to 14-5.

The visitors used eight pitchers during the course of the game with starter Jonah Wachter (1-2) getting credit for the win. He went the first two innings, allowing one run on two hits with a strikeout and two walks.

UW starter Grant Cunningham (0-2) took the loss, allowing four runs on six hits with two strikeouts and one walk. He recorded just four outs and gave up four doubles.

Tulane fielder Jacob LaPrairie drove in a team-high four runs and third baseman Simon Baumgardt posted three. LaPrairie also scored three times and right fielder Teo Banks went 4-for-5. Center fielder Brady Hebert added three more hits and two runs scored.

Washington first baseman Will Simpson hit a pair of three-run homers in the third and sixth innings to lead the Huskies' offensive charge.

Tulane jumped to a 9-1 lead in the third inning, which included a season-high five tallies in the third frame.

In the second inning, second baseman Chase Engelhard and LaPrairie had run-scoring doubles to left center sandwiched around a sacrifice fly to center by shortstop Gavin Schulz. LaPrairie drove in two more with a double to right in the third after Hebert did the same, scoring Engelhard. That set the table for catcher Brennan Lambert's two-run homer to left.

The Green Wave added two more after Simpson's third-inning shot, courtesy of a solo homer to left by Banks and an RBI single up the middle by first baseman Brady Marget.

Baumgardt added a solo bomb to center in the top of the sixth, but the home team closed the margin to three (12-9) with four runs in the bottom half.

Baumgardt, though, tacked on a two-run single in the top of the seventh to account for the game's final margin.

Tulane reliever Michael Lombardi got the final six outs of the game to lower his 2023 ERA to 0.66 in 13 and two-thirds innings.

In all, 10 of Tulane's 17 hits went for extra bases, including seven doubles.

Tulane continues its westward journey with a three-game series at Hawaii this weekend. The Friday and Saturday games will start at 11:35 p.m. CT, while the Sunday contest will begin at 6:05 p.m.
