While the Green Wave's starting pitchers have met all their expectations thus far, the relief pitching needs to work on pitching tougher when the team needs them.
No. 20 Tulane baseball has had a tremendous start to the season as it won its first home series against Illinois (2-1). Despite this, Tulane's relief pitching did not maintain the leads in the final innings that the starting pitchers initiated.
All weekend long the starting pitchers performed their tasks as the team needed and gave the team the chance for shutouts. Junior pitcher Corey Merrill, redshirt senior pitcher Alex Massey and senior pitcher Emerson Gibbs each had some hits against them, but their skills and experiences as players got them out of the holes they dug themselves into.
