Pinch hitter Matt Rowland hit a two-out two-run home run in the top of the ninth to push Tulane baseball past Memphis, 6-5, to win the series and conclude the regular season in dramatic fashion Saturday afternoon at FedEx Park.
The home run was Rowland's first at Tulane, and scored Jake Willsey, who reached on a one-out walk. The victory gave the Green Wave (27-29, 13-11 American) the series victory over the Memphis, and two straight wins heading into the American Athletic Conference Championship next week in Clearwater, Fla.
Reliever Brandon Issa (4-0) earned the win after throwing a scoreless eighth inning, and Christian Colletti pitched the ninth to earn his 11th save of the season, and second of the series.
