Tulane baseball's ninth-inning comeback attempt fell short in a 5-3 defeat at East Carolina in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
The Green Wave (22-23, 9-6 American) is now in a five-way tie for first place in the American Athletic Conference standings. The Pirates improved to 24-21 overall and 4-11 in conference play after winning the series this weekend.
Tulane scored a run in the top of the fourth inning to take the 1-0 lead, but East Carolina countered with three runs in the bottom of the frame and added two runs in the seventh.
