Tulane Falls to Southeastern 13-1

Tulane's bats were quiet again tonight, as they fell to Southeastern 13-1. Not only were the bats quiet, the pitching was poor, at least early; the Lions scored all of their runs in the first four frames. It quieted down after that, as both teams subbed often, giving playing time to the players who normally would not receive it.

Nearly all parts of the Greenie's game were off tonight. Aside from poor pitching and hitting, they also played atrocious defense, committing three errors. This accounted for 7 unearned runs. There were plays where no error was committed that defense was still poor. The Wave had a runner trying to steal second out easily if the throw was caught, but neither the second baseman nor the shortstop took control, and the ball went right between them into center.

It seems that there is plenty to work on for the Green Wave this year. Perhaps the top-25 ranking was premature for this team, or perhaps they aren't playing to potential, but either way they are sitting at 2-2 heading into a home series against GW this week.
