This weekend will be the Rebels’ first series away from home, while the Green Wave has just returned from its first away game of the […]

The Tulane baseball team extended its winning streak to five with a three-game weekend sweep of the Lipscomb Bison.

Sophomore catcher Jeremy Schaffer, one of Tulane’s top hitters, began serving an 11-game suspension Feb. 20. Schaffer violated student-athlete policy, but the Tulane athletic department has chosen to keep the details confidential. Schaffer will not miss 11 back-to-back games. Instead, he will spread out his 11 absences throughout the season. He missed his first game […]

The Tulane Green Wave opened their baseball season with a three-game weekend series against Boston College. A young Tulane team lost its first season opener since 2006 Friday night, losing 8-5..

Despite a less-than-stellar reputation for success in the last decade, Tulane Athletics have still managed to produce a handful of professional athletes. While Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte is the best-known Tulane sports alumnus, Cincinnati Red pitcher Micah Owings is not far behind.
A 2005 graduate, Owings spent his first two years of college ball pitching […]

After last year’s 34-25 campaign, Tulane baseball faces a fair amount of uncertainty heading into this season. The Wave will face one of their most competitive schedules ever, with non-conference series against Ole Miss, LSU and Boston College. What the Wave lacks experience, however, it makes up for with an abundance of young talent. Many […]

The late comedian Joe Lewis once said, “rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for U.S. Steel.” Nowadays, it’s more like rooting for Vladimir Putin, but U.S. Steel was also pretty unlovable back in the day.
Hating the Yankees is something that will never go out of fashion. Even if they stop spending more than every […]

Each week this semester, the Tulane University Fencing Club has taught high school students how to fence as part of “Fortierworks,” a program at Alcée Fortier High School aimed at improving the life choices of students.
Fortierworks was an existing program at Alcée Fortier when the TUFC was asked by program director John Wyseman to complete the […]

If you were one of the many who packed Turchin Stadium Friday and saw the Green Wave get pummeled 15-1 by defending national champion Cal State Fullerton, don’t fret about Tulane’s chances to get to Omaha. The season is still young, and even good teams suffer slumps and bad performances. This Green Wave team will […]

After dropping the first two games of last weekend’s three-game series to the defending national champions Cal State Fullerton, the Tulane offense finally came alive in Game Three to earn a 13-9 victory and a little respect.
The much-hyped series pitted the No. 1 Green Wave (15-3) against the No. 3 Titans (14-3), who eliminated the Green […]

A sparse crowd braved strong winds and cold weather Wednesday to watch the No. 3 Green Wave top the Texas Southern Tigers 8-4.
The Green Wave (16-3) was out-hit 10-7 by the scrappy Tigers (6-6-1), but Tulane capitalized on five walks, four errors and a hit batter to score five of their runs.
“It was an ugly game. Offensively […]

When it comes to Tulane baseball, winning is a way of life, especially at home in the increasingly hostile Turchin Field.
After all, it’s never easy for a visiting team to win on the road against a top-ranked team, much less in a place where alumni chant the “Hullabaloo” at the top of their lungs after every […]

Congress issued subpoenas this week to several Major League Baseball players, including Jason Giambi, Sammy Sosa and Curt Schilling, to testify in regards to the recently revealed steroid-use scandal.
Congress has jurisdiction in this matter due to a quirk in the legal system; Major League Baseball is a rare exemption from our strict, century-old anti-trust laws. But […]

Spring Break is here — thank God — and, barring a Topical Wave announcement, students won't have to hear another thing about Promise and Distinction for almost a week. Maybe by then the whole thing will have blown over. Then again, that's what Harry hoped about the orientation fee.
 
In the meantime, though, you can at least forget about it all […]

Green Wave baseball has grown accustomed to winning at home this season. In fact, the question these days is not if the team will win, but how it will get the job done.
No. 1 Tulane used a walk-off grand slam Friday, a hit parade Saturday and a display of power Sunday to sweep the Marist Red […]
