TULANE GAME NOTES

BIRMINGHAM, AL – Tulane hits the road once again to face UAB for a weekend series that will take place at Young Memorial Field in Birmingham.

First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday's game will start at 2, while Sunday's series finale is set for 1.

The Green Wave (16-13, 2-4 AAC) is coming off a 19-1 home drubbing of Texas Southern on Tuesday that ended in the seventh inning due to the 10-run rule. Six Tulane players had two hits and right fielder Matthias Haas drove in four runs. The home team saw 11 consecutive batters reach in the first inning en route to 10 runs. Haas had an RBI double in the second, a two-run bomb in the sixth and plated the team's final tally with an RBI groundout in the bottom of the sixth.

The other Tulane homer came off the bat of Teo Banks, a towering three-run shot in the fourth inning. In all, Colin Tuft, Banks, first baseman Adam Ebling, left fielder Jackson Linn, Haas and shortstop James Agabedis III all posted two hits apiece.

UAB (12-16, 1-5) has lost four in a row, coming off last weekend's road sweep at East Carolina and then a 10-4 loss to Auburn at Regions Field.

All three games this weekend will be streamed on ESPN+.

Voice of the Green Wave Corey Gloor will also have the call on the Tulane Sports Network from Learfield. The games will air on 88.3 FM WRBH, along with the Tulane Athletics and Varsity Network apps. Airtime for all the games is 15 minutes before first pitch.
