With an early lead already squandered, whatever hopes the Tulane baseball team had of making a comeback against LSU disappeared with each passing batter Wednesday (March 21).
Five LSU relievers combined to retire the last 15 Tulane hitters over the course of five innings at Alex Box Stadium.
But the shutdown ability came with more than just standout pitching.
"They got three centerfielders it looks to me playing the outfield," Tulane coach Travis Jewett said after the 10-4 loss. "So it's hard to find anything in the air in the outfield."
The outfield defense showed over those final five innings.
