The Tulane baseball team could have two starting position players back in the lineup Friday (March 16), but only if coach Travis Jewett believes they're 100 percent ready.
The Green Wave has played the last week without starting first baseman Trevor Jensen and the last two games without usual No. 3 hitter Ty Johnson in the outfield.
"We're missing them dearly," Jewett said Wednesday after his Green Wave lost to Southern Miss 12-3. "We're missing Ty's spirit. We're missing Jensen's gold glove at first base. Those are two bats."
Jensen has not played since he pulled a hamstring March 7 against Southeastern and Johnson has not played since he fell and hurt a hip as he rounded first on a fly out Sunday against Purdue.
