Tulane Baseball Headed to Baton Rouge Regional

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane baseball team is headed to the Baton Rouge Regional, the NCAA selection committee announced this morning.

The Green Wave (19-40), the regional's No. 4 seed, will take on the top seed, LSU, at 2 p.m. in a game that will be carried by ESPNU. The Tigers are the No. 5 national seed.

Oregon State (39-18) will be the regional's No. 2 seed and will face the No. 3 seed, Sam Houston (38-23), at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.

Tulane had a storybook week in Clearwater, Florida as it captured the 2023 American Athletic Conference Tournament title with an 8-6 win over East Carolina. The Green Wave came in as the bracket's No. 7 seed and became the lowest seed to ever win the AAC Tourney. The trip to Baton Rouge will be Tulane's 22nd all-time appearance at an NCAA Regional and its first since 2016.

The Tigers went 1-2 at the Southeastern Conference Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, entering as the bracket's No. 3 seed. LSU defeated No. 6 South Carolina (10-3) but dropped games against No. 6 Arkansas and No. 10 Texas A&M, both by 5-4 scores.

The Beavers lost both of their games in the Pac-12 Tournament, coming in as the bracket's No. 2 seed. They dropped a 13-12 slugfest to No. 8 Arizona and then fell 14-10 to No. 5 Arizona State.

The second-seeded Bearkats had to win four consecutive elimination games with back-to-back doubleheaders in the WAC Tournament to advance to the regional. Sam Houston's offense exploded for 72 runs in wins over fourth-seeded Abilene Christian, WAC regular season champion Grand Canyon and third seeded Utah Valley. After eliminating the Antelopes with a 22-8 run-rule victory, the Kats had to beat the previously undefeated Wolverines twice to win the tournament. Sam Houston stayed alive with a 12-10 victory then pummeled Utah Valley 21-1 in the winner-take-all championship game.
