NEW ORLEANS - In a rain delayed game, Xavier baseball's offense matched a season-high with 13 hits on the way to a 10-3 win in game two at Tulane on Saturday evening at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. The win evened the series at 1-1 with the rubber match set for Sunday.

The Musketeers got on the board with a four-run frame in the second, with Nolan Tucker getting on with two outs via a single, then coming home on Isaac Wachsmann's team-high fourth home run of the season. Luke Hammond continued the two-out rally with a single and Aedan Anderson reached on an error, advancing to third as Hammond scored. Jake Lambdin followed with a single to right to bring in Hammond and cap off the four-run inning.

Xavier added to its 4-0 advantage in the fourth, with Hammond getting on with a single, stealing second, moving to third on a single from Anderson, and coming home as Carter Hendrickson hit into a fielder's choice to make it a 5-0 lead.

Tulane picked up a run in the bottom of the frame, but the Musketeers got it back in the fifth, with Jason Jelic getting on with a hit-by-pitch and moving to third on a double from Clay Burdette. A sacrifice fly from Tucker brought in Jelic to make it a 6-1 lead.

Two more runs came across for the Green Wave to pull within three, 6-3, after six, but the Musketeers responded in the seventh with three runs on three hits. Burdette was hit by a pitch and Tucker hit a single to put two with two out on for Wachsmann, who doubled to bring in Burdette. A wild pitch brought Tucker home from third and moved Wachsmann to third, and a RBI single from Hammond capped off the three-run frame, bringing in Wachsmann to make it a 9-3 lead.

Xavier added one more run in the ninth, with Tucker taking a lead-off walk, Hammond hitting a single, and Hayden Christiansen getting on a with a walk to load the bases. Lambdin singled to right to drive in Tucker, setting the final score at 10-3.
