held the lead for most of the night but let things slip away late in a 15-3 loss to Houston at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium on Friday night.
The Green Wave were up by two runs heading into the eighth inning, but another poor performance from the bullpen led to them giving up a startling 14 runs in the final two innings.
Houston's win moves them into a tie for first place in the AAC standings, along with UCF, while Tulane drops two games back behind Houston and UCF.
With only five conference games left on the schedule, both teams know that a strong performance this weekend can go a long way in determining this year's AAC regular-season title.
