Tulane baseball squanders another lead in high-scoring loss to Southeastern

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) scored a run in the bottom of the ninth and had the potential winning run on base when Grant Mathews flied out to end the game.
