TULANEThe Green Wave took two-of-three from Southern Miss over the weekend. Junior RHP Shooter Hunt struck out a season-high 12 batters in Tulane’s 4-3 win over Southern Miss on Friday. He posted at least one strikeout in six of the seven innings he tossed, including a pair of two-K stanzas while striking out the side in both the sixth and seventh innings. All three of Hunt’s punches in the sixth came on nine consecutive pitches. He had a no-hitter through four and gave up just two hits during his time on the hill to improve to 6-1 on the year. Freshman 3B Rob Segedin and junior C Steve Moritz have both hit safely in their last five games and junior IF Seth Henry concluded the week having successfully reached in seven consecutive contests. Junior 1B Sam Honeck, however, leads the squad with an 11-game hitting streak dating back to April 2. Since then, Honeck is connecting at a .405 clip (17-for-42) with a .595 slugging percentage courtesy of five doubles and a home run. By hitting four home runs during the Green Wave’s 3-1 week, Tulane now has 37 bombs on the year which is already three more than the season total of a year ago. Junior OF Andrew Rodgers paces the 2008 team with eight home runs and junior IF/OF Anthony Scelfo follows closely with six.
