Tulane Baseball Claims Series Win Over Xavier 5-4

The Tulane baseball team secured a narrow 5-4 victory over Xavier on Sunday, clinching their fourth series of the season at Greer Field. Tayler Montiel was pivotal in relief, allowing only one hit and striking out four in three innings, while Michael Lombardi recorded his fifth save of the season. The game featured a back-and-forth contest, with Tulane taking the lead for good in the seventh inning thanks to Lombardi's sacrifice bunt that scored Gavin Schulz. Connor Rasmussen shone offensively with three hits, while Nate Johnson contributed two RBIs. This win came after Tulane suffered a 10-3 loss to Xavier the previous day, setting up the rubber match. Tulane's upcoming schedule includes a matchup against Lamar before they begin American Athletic Conference play against Wichita State next weekend.
