The last ninth-inning deficit for the Tulane baseball team before Sunday (April 15) resulted in a memorable comeback. There was no such comeback this time.
Tulane let Houston score two runs in the top of the ninth inning and lost 5-3 in the second game of a doubleheader at Turchin Stadium. Tulane won the first game 2-0 in seven innings.
The loss also kept Tulane (16-21 overall, 6-6 AAC) from completing a three-game series sweep of Houston (21-14, 7-5) for the first time since 2003. Tulane won the series opener Friday with a rally from 10 runs down to win 17-16.
