The University of New Orleans baseball team, in extra innings for the first time this season, defeated the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, 8-6. A pinch hit double by Rowland Skinner put runners on second and third for UNO in the tenth before Mike Sanchez doubled down the left field line to score two runs and give UNO a 7-5 lead. UNO rallied from an early 4-0 Tech lead with the help of a two run double by Jeff Miller in a three run fifth inning for the Privateers. UNO took a 5-4 lead in the seventh when UNO scored on a wild pitch by Casey Blalock. Tech tied the game back up in the eighth when Meadows hit the second of his three home runs in the game.
Meadows now has seven home runs on the season.
Tom Lipari started and went eight innings for UNO, giving up five runs and seven hits while fanning 11 Tech batters. Lipari becomes the first Privateer under Randy Bush to record double-digit strikeouts in a game. Tech scored one run in the bottom of the first. Wade Robinson hit Tom Lipari's first pitch for a double to left center. Cullen Simmons brought Robinson home with a sacrifice fly.
