Tulane blanks Saint Louis in rare Monday evening matchup

NEW ORLEANS – Tulane used a quartet of hurlers to hand visiting Saint Louis a 2-0 defeat Monday evening on Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.

Starter Michael Lombardi went five innings (two hits, three walks, six strikeouts), then gave way to Henry Shuffler (two innings, one walk, three strikeouts), Trey Cehajic (one inning, two strikeouts) and Jacob Moore (one inning, one hit), who got his third save of the season.

The win vaulted the Green Wave to 13-8 overall, while Saint Louis dropped its third straight game to fall to 15-4.

Billikens starter Jackson Yarberry (3-1) took his first loss, allowing one run on four hits with a strikeout and a walk.

Tulane’s left fielder Jackson Linn and first baseman Brady Marget each went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Linn drove in catcher Colin Tuft in the third inning for the first run, while Marget got shortstop Marcus Cline home in the eighth with a perfectly placed bunt down the third base line.

The game snapped a 56-game streak for Saint Louis of not being shut out.

Tulane will turn its attention to its first American Athletic Conference series of 2024 when it travels to Rice for three games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
