Tulane baseball ran its record to 5-0 with a pair of mid-week wins. The Green Wave outlasted Southeastern Louisiana 4-3 in 12 innings Tuesday night. The following night Tulane blasted #25 Lousiana-Lafayette 10-1.

Freshman lefthander Matt Pepitone pitched the Green Wave out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the 12th inning against SLU Tuesday night for the first win of his collegiate career. First baseman Sam Honeck sealed the 4-3 victory, driving in the winning run in the bottom of the inning.

Wednesday night Tulane jumped all over the Ragin' Cajuns 10-1. Junior right-handed pitcher Jonathan Garrett was nearly perfect, pitching 6 innings of one-hit baseball, while recording 5 strikeouts. Leftfielder Anthony Scelfo provided the offensive spark for the Green Wave going 3-4 with 2 triples and one walk. Scelfo scored 3 runs and drove in two.
