Box Score

CORVALLIS, OR – Tulane starter Luc Fladda and closer Jacob Moore finished off a four-hit, 3-0 shutout of third-seeded Nicholls on Saturday in the first elimination game at the 2024 Corvallis Regional.

The fourth-seeded Green Wave (36-25) will face the loser of Saturday evening's winners' bracket game between top-seeded Oregon State (43-14) and second-seeded UC Irvine (44-12) on Sunday at 2 p.m. CT/12 PT in another elimination game.

The Colonels finished the season at 38-22.

Fladda (5-3) was amazing on Saturday, limiting the Colonels to just four hits and two walks with one strikeout over eight innings. Moore came in and nailed down his sixth save of the season with a flawless ninth frame.

Nicholls starter Michael Quevedo (5-1) suffered his first loss despite pitching quite well. He gave up two runs on five hits with two strikeouts and no walks.

The Green Wave's offense came in the second, fifth and ninth innings. Second baseman Connor Rasmussen knocked in third baseman Gavin Schulz with an RBI groundout to give the team its first run. Right fielder Matthias Haas and left fielder Jackson Linn each followed with RBI singles to right later on for runs two and three.

Linn went 2-for-3 on the day, as did Nicholls catcher Kaden Amundson and both men posted doubles.

Saturday's win was Tulane's first NCAA Tournament shutout since a 7-0 triumph over Rice on June 12, 2005 in the New Orleans Super Regional. The last Regional shutout was another 7-0 victory the year before (June 5, 2004) over Western Kentucky in Oxford, Mississippi.
