A lack of pitching control caused the Tulane baseball team to squander another late-inning lead in a loss Wednesday.
A string of two walks and two hit batters to four successive batters let Southeastern score the final three runs in a five-inning eighth that lifted the Lions to a 13-12 victory at Tulane's Turchin Stadium.
The first of those two hit batters loaded the bases, and the tying, go-ahead and lead-cushioning runs for Southeastern (9-5) came home on a walk, a hit batter and another walk.
Tulane (6-7) led 11-8 through seven innings, and the top of the eighth started with Grant Witherspoon's dropped fly ball in center field that let the first batter reach second.
