Keagan Gillies doubled his season strikeout total with 11 and Grant Witherspoon hit two solo home runs for Tulane to beat Purdue 6-2 and secure a series victory Sunday.

The win for Gillies came one week after he helped Tulane avoid a sweep against Cal State Fullerton. The two pitching wins for Gillies are the most for any Tulane pitcher this season.

Next for Tulane (8-8) are a pair of midweek home games Tuesday against Louisiana-Lafayette and Wednesday against Southern Miss.

Against Purdue (9-4), Gillies pitched seven full innings and surrendered eight hits and two walks over that span.
