Tulane vs. UNO |
Dad dropped me off on campus this evening as he was already in the area to go to the Baseball game this evening versus UNO. I had class at 5:45 so I missed a good portion of the game. Pirate societies class this evening was about the backgrounds of some of the more famous pirates. The general point was that they call from a wide variety of backgrounds. While many were from poor circumstances, others were from well-to-do families or had law degrees.I walked to Turchin stadium after class. I think I showed up around the 4th inning. UNO had a 2-0 lead. Generally speaking, Tulane looked pretty lousy. On the radio, Graff equated their performance to a “coma.” As it was rather cold outside, Dad and I left at the start of the 8th inning. As we listened to the rest of the game on the way home, Tulane rallied. The loaded the bases and got two runs in. With two outs and the bases loaded, Andrew Rogers hit a line drive right to the wall under the scoreboard. Had there been any wind it would certainly have been a grand slam but it was caught at the wall to end the game 4-2.
