TULANEThe Green Wave won a pair of games at Memphis over the weekend, scoring 17 runs on Friday and 15 runs on Saturday before Sunday’s game was rained out. For the weekend, the Green Wave hit .368 (32-for-87) with a .586 slugging percentage courtesy of 10 doubles and three home runs. Junior CF Anthony Scelfo led Tulane with a .667 batting average (8-for-12) with two doubles, a home run and six RBI. Freshman 3B Rob Segedin continued to swing a hot stick for the Green Wave last week, hitting a team-best .583 (7-for-12) with a .917 slugging percentage on the strength of a double and a home run while driving in five runs and scoring six. With a two-run homer in the sixth inning during Tulane’s 15-3 win at Memphis on Saturday, junior 1B Sam Honeck now has at least one hit in the last 16 games dating back to April 2. Honeck got off to a rough start to the 2008 season and saw his batting average dip to as low as .217 following April 1’s home game against McNeese State. Since then, however, Honeck is connecting at a .423 clip (22-for-52) with a .673 slugging percentage courtesy of seven doubles and two home runs while driving in 12 runs. Tulane hit 15 doubles in three games last week. The two-bag totals from those games brings the Wave’s season total to 87, which is already six more than the 60-game total of a year ago. Sophomore LHP Matt Petiton earned his fourth straight win on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits over six innings.
