Tulane surrendered a season-high run total to Houston in an 18-7 loss that eliminated the Green Wave from the American Athletic Conference baseball tournament Thursday (May 24) in Clearwater, Fla.
Houston led 7-5 after three innings and scored nine runs on the fourth inning against three Tulane pitchers. The game ended after seven innings.
Grant Witherspoon posted his 200th college career hit in the seventh inning and ended with two hits in four at-bats, driving in two runs with one RBI.
Witherspoon nearly lifted Tulane to a tournament win Wednesday with a pair of two-run home runs that put the Green Wave ahead 4-1 before a five-run eighth by East Carolina.
