With the offense struggling, Tulane needed its defense and pitching to pick it up versus UCF in the Green Wave's American Athletic Conference Tournament.
When all was said and done, Tulane only had four hits and used six pitchers but everything broke the Green Wave's way as top-seeded Tulane walked away with a 4-3 victory over No. 8 UCF.
Everything turned around for Tulane in the seventh inning on Tuesday night. Pitchers Ross Massey and Corey Merill made sure the Green Wave went into the bottom half of the inning with the score still tied and designated hitter Jeremy Montalbano hit a ground-rule double to score Grant Witherspoon to put Tulane up for good.
