Baseball Earns 12-2 Run-Shortened Sunday Series Victory Over Memphis
Mar 22, 2026 | Baseball
NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane baseball team (13-12, 2-1 American) rallied for a 12-2 run-shortened home victory over Memphis (6-16, 1-2 American) on Sunday, March 22, on Greer Field at Turchin Stadium to take the first conference series of the season. The program has now won four of the last five games.
Jude Abbadessa (2-1) earned the win for the Green Wave with 3.1 innings of relief and two strikeouts. J.D. Rodriguez started for Tulane and went the first 3.1 innings with a run allowed on four hits with three strikeouts. Beau Sampson threw the final 1.1 innings. He struck out all four men he faced to earn his first save of the season.
Nate Johnson led the offensive attack with three hits, two RBIs and two runs scored. Trent Liolios had a pair of hits and RBIs plus a walk. Jason Wachs scored three runs plus walked and had a triple. Tye Wood scored a pair of runs and drove in one. Matthias Haas walked three times, had a hit, an RBI and scored two runs. Evan Burg drove in a run. Hugh Pinkney tallied a pair of hits, a run scored and an RBI. Kaikea Harrison totaled a hit and a run scored.
The loss went to Davis Oswalt (1-1) as he allowed four runs in his inning of work out of the bullpen.
Memphis scored first with a run, 1-0, in the second inning on Trae Cassidy's single to left field.
The Green Wave took the lead with a pair of runs, 2-1, in the fourth on an RBI double from Haas followed by a run-scoring single from Liolios.
Memphis tied the score, 2-2, on a successful squeeze bunt RBI from Cade Hitson in the sixth.
The Green Wave took the lead with three runs in the sixth. Wood came in to score from first on Nate Johnson's mishandled double. The second run of the frame was driven in on a Jack Johnson sacrifice fly. The third run came courtesy of a Pinkney single to right field.
Tulane stole a run, 6-2, on a caught steal at second that allowed Wachs to score from third on the designed play in the seventh.
The offense exploded for six runs to get to the run-rule 12-2 victory in the eighth inning. Wood drove in the first tally when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Nate Johnson followed with a double to plate a pair. Burg's fielder's choice, in which the ball was thrown away, brought in the 10th and 11th runs. The game ended on Liolios' RBI double.
Next, Tulane plays a non-conference home contest against Grambling State (8-14) on Wednesday, March 22, starting at 6:30 p.m. The game will be the final one of the nine game homestand.
