Winners of nine of 11, the UConn baseball team (15-8) begins American Athletic Conference play this weekend with a trip to the Big Easy for a three-game set at Tulane (17-8). The Huskies and Green Wave will play Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. (all times Eastern) at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Tulane hosts UConn with a 17-8 record, including an 11-4 mark at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. The Green Wave broke into the polls earlier this season after an impressive start under first-year head coach David Pierce. Tulane's strength comes from its pitching, currently holding a 2.25 ERA to lead The American. Friday starter Corey Merrill has made six starts and pitched to a 1.33 ERA, striking out 36 against nine walks in 40.2 innings. Emerson Gibbs has made three starts and holds a 2.03 ERA, while Tim Yandel figures to start Sunday with a 2.43 ERA on the season. At the dish, Stephen Alemais leads the Green Wave with a .347 average and has scored a team-high 24 runs. Hunter Hope and Hunter Williams are tied for the Tulane lead with four home runs and 14 RBIs apiece.
