Tulane Defeats No. 1 UTSA 10-6 Advances in AAC Baseball Tournament

The UTSA Roadrunners, entering the 2025 American Athletic Conference baseball tournament as the No. 1 seed after a dominant regular season, suffered a 10-6 loss to the No. 5 seed Tulane Green Wave, forcing them into the losers' bracket. UTSA struggled with pitching control, particularly allowing five home runs, including two in the critical eighth inning, which Tulane capitalized on to secure the win and advance to their fifth consecutive AAC semifinal. Coach Pat Hallmark expressed frustration over repeated pitching mistakes and emphasized the need for better adjustments and coaching. Tulane, known for its strong postseason performance with back-to-back tournament championships, showed resilience and power, while UTSA's season success has largely been driven by their potent hitting lineup led by players like Mason Lytle and Drew Detlefsen. The double-elimination format means UTSA must win their upcoming game against Florida Atlantic to stay alive in the tournament, while Tulane continues to build momentum. Both teams' histories and current form set up a compelling contest for the AAC championship and NCAA tournament positioning.
