Baseball Earns 7-6 Comeback Victory Over North Dakota State
Mar 7, 2025 | Baseball
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane baseball team (10-3) fought until the last out in registering a thrilling 7-6 ninth inning comeback victory over North Dakota State (1-12) on Friday night, March 7, on Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
The game was decided in the ninth inning for Tulane. The Green Wave started the rally with Nate Johnson registering a lead-off walk. Pinch runner Theo Bryant IV was inserted to run for Johnson and moved to second after back-to-back strikeouts on the two-out walk to Tanner Chun. A wild pitch moved both runners up a base and set by Michael Lombardi's infield single to allow Bryant to score the tying run with Chun coming racing around on his heels with the winning tally on a throwing error from the NDSU second baseman on the play.
Lombardi led the attack for Tulane with three hits, two runs scored and four RBIs. He also walked. Chun, Jason Wachs and Kaikea Harrison recorded the team's other hits.
The win was earned by Jacob Moore (2-1) who had entered in the ninth inning with two runners on and one out and got out of the jam with a line out double play back to him. The Tulane bullpen combined for 4.2 scoreless innings of relief with Will Clements, Wes Burton, Gavin Smith and Tayler Montiel all throwing a scoreless frame. Luc Fladda started for Tulane and surrendered six runs (four earned) in 4.1 innings pitched with five strikeouts.
Danny Lachenmayer (0-2) was the tough luck loser in surrendering two runs in 1.2 innings of relief with four strikeouts for the Bison.
Tulane scored first with a run in the opening inning as Lombardi beat an attempted play at the plate off the fielder's choice grounder off the bat of Connor Rasmussen.
The Bison tied the game up in the top of the second on an RBI single by Tommy Simon.
