Box Score

NEW ORLEANS – The UC Irvine baseball team scored seven of its runs in the fourth and fifth innings to build a lead that host Tulane couldn't overcome as the Anteaters finished off the weekend sweep with a 10-7 victory Sunday afternoon on Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.

The visitors improved to 6-0 with the win, while Tulane dropped a game below .500 at 3-4 overall.

UCI also swept the Olive and Blue last season out west to start the 2023 campaign.

Second baseman Will Bermudez had a double, triple and three RBI on Saturday to pace the visitors at the plate. Shortstop Woody Hadeen, designated hitter Chase Call, third baseman Jo Oyama and catcher Abraham Garcia-Pacheco all posted two hits apiece. Call and Oyama scored three times.

The Green Wave had a big power day at the dish, blasting four home runs. Center fielder Teo Banks, first baseman Brady Marget, left fielder Jackson Linn and shortstop Marcus Cline all registered round-trippers on the day. Cline also had a double and scored three runs. Banks led the way with three RBI.

UCI starting pitcher Trevor Hansen (1-0) was effective in getting the win. He struck out seven against one walk over five innings while allowing four hits and three runs.

Tulane reliever Michael Lombardi (0-1) was hit with the loss after giving up a run on a hit with one walk and two hit batters. The best Green Wave pitching performance came at the end of the day when Billy Price surrendered just one run on two hits with a walk over the contest's final three and one-third innings.

The Green Wave found itself in a 10-3 hole through six innings but wouldn't quit as Linn, Cline and Banks all went deep over the left field wall in the team's final three innings.

Tulane will be back in action Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. when UNO visits for the first game of the annual Pelican Cup, which the Privateers won a season ago. UNO is 4-3 in 2024 after winning two of three at home this weekend against Evansville.

NOTES
Tulane DH Nathan Rose has reached base in all seven games this season, while right fielder Brock Slaton has done the same in all but the season opener.
