Box Score

NEW ORLEANS – South Alabama right fielder Micah Morgan hit two home runs, had three RBI and scored four times to power the visiting Jaguars in a 14-7 win over host Tulane Wednesday evening on Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.

South Alabama improved to 21-16, while Tulane fell to 20-17.

USA designated hitter Lucas Ismaili and left fielder Rett Johnson each drove in two runs to go with two runs scored by right fielder Ethan Melton and catcher Nathan Wood.

Green Wave designated hitter Michael Lombardi and second baseman Connor Rasmussen had two RBI apiece and catcher Colin Tuft scored three times. That trio, along with first baseman Brady Marget, combined to go 8-for-17.

Tuft also kept his streaks (on-base: 29 games; hitting 21) alive Wednesday.

Both teams used seven pitchers during the game. Jaguars reliever Tyler Smith (0-1) was credited with the win as he was the pitcher of record when the visitors took the lead in the top of the fourth inning. He allowed two runs on two hits in a third of an inning.

Tulane's Billy Price (2-2) gave up a run on three hits with two strikeouts and two walks in one and two-thirds innings.

South Alabama scored four runs each in the second, fourth and eighth innings.

Tuft stole his team-high eighth base of the season in the first inning.

The Green Wave will be back in action this weekend when it heads to Florida Atlantic for a three-game series that begins Friday evening in Boca Raton. The Owls are 19-15 overall and 6-6 in the American Athletic Conference.
