NEW ORLEANS — Tulane's 3-0
American Athletic Conference win over East Carolina on Saturday had some
similarities to the Green Wave's 5-3 win over the Pirates on Friday
night.
Tulane (21-9, 3-1 AAC)
got another complete game on the mound, this one from Emerson Gibbs
(3-1), and Hunter Williams had another productive day at the plate.
Williams hit a three-run
homer in the bottom of the ninth on Friday to lift the Green Wave to
victory.
Williams went 2-for-4
with two RBIs on Saturday. Williams singled to drive in two runs in
the fourth for a 2-0 Tulane lead.
Stephen Alemais homered
to left in the seventh to complete the scoring.
Jimmy Boyd (4-2) started
and went five and two-thirds innings for ECU (20-11, 2-3). Boyd
allowed four hits, two earned runs and walked three without a
strikeout.
Matt Bridges yielded the
home run to Alemais. Sam Lanier and Evan Voliva contributed
scoreless relief stints.
Tulane had a 6-5 edge in
hits. The Wave left eight on base while the Pirates stranded four.
Travis Watkins, Zack
Mozingo, Kirk Morgan, Turner Brown and Garrett Brooks had hits for
the Pirates.
Brown also drew the only
walk from Gibbs, who recorded five strikeouts.
The third game of the
series is at 2 p.m. today.
