Huskies Battle Hard, Fall 14-9 to Tulane Wednesday
March 22, 2023 | Baseball
Β
Grant Cunningham took the loss on the hill allowing four runs over 1.1 innings. The Huskies used six arms out of the bullpen, including two perfect frames from Josh Emanuels.
Β
Clayton got things started on the right foot, hammering an inside pitch and keeping it narrowly fair, slamming the ball off the left field foul pole for a leadoff blast.
Β
However, Tulane scored four runs in the second and five more in the third, putting the Dawgs in a deep hole at 9-1.
Β
Will Simpson clubbed a 3-run home run the other way into Union Bay in the bottom of the third, closing the deficit to 9-4, but Tulane got two runs back in the fifth to shut down the budding momentum.
Β
Coby Morales unleashed a massive blast to left-center, a 440-foot bomb for his first homer since posting two on opening day. Unfortunately, a solo blast for the Green Wave in the sixth restored the seven-run advantage.
Β
Cam Clayton shot an RBI single into left in the bottom of the sixth before Simpson tattooed another offering, crushing another three-run shot over the wall in left-center to reduce the deficit to three.
Β
Tulane scratched across two more in the seventh and UW would get no closer, falling in a midweek shootout.
Β
