Most Tulane fans can’t believe how our once nationally-recognized baseball program has fallen on hard times. After all, for about 30 years from 1978 through 2008 we went to regionals almost every year and even got to the College World Series twice, though with less satisfactory results. For the last 15 years we’ve gone to regionals only three times including last season’s near miraculous winning of the conference championship.
But Rice… from 1995 through 2017, Rice baseball went to regionals 23 consecutive years and reached the College World Series on seven occasions, even winning the whole thing once. Since then they’ve had six consecutive losing seasons going 113-187 overall. In the first two games of our series with them this weekend, they looked like the worst college team I’d ever seen-- no hitting; no pitching and beyond-bad defense. With their win over our Wave today, they now stand at 9-15 on the year. We let one get away today, not that there were many chances; we only had five base runners and two of them scored. But, we were playing a really bad team.
Look forward to USM.
Roll Wave!!!
