BOX SCORE (XML) | BOX SCORE (PDF)

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The New Orleans Privateers (4-5) had a tough time getting offense going, collecting just two hits as they were shut out 4-0 by the Tulane Green Wave (8-1) on Wednesday night at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. With the win, Tulane took the First NBC Cup.
 
The Privateers got a late threat in the eighth against Tulane starter, Emerson Gibbs. After Mitchell Alexander reached on an error, Jay Robinson squeezed a single through to left to chase Gibbs. The Green Wave went to Dan Rankin who retired the next three batters in order to end the Privateers threat.
 
In the ninth, Preston Marsh led off by reaching on an error off of reliever, Ian Gibaut. On the next batter, Gibaut recovered to get Sam Carriere to ground into a double play then recorded a strikeout to end the second consecutive shutout for Tulane.
 
Gibbs was locked in early, keeping the ball on the ground and going the first 6.2 innings without giving up a hit. The no-hitter was broken up by Jonathan Coco on a two-out opposite field single to right. He wound up going 7.0 innings plus two batters, striking out seven and walking two batters.
 
The Green Wave got their first three runs in similar fashion with RBIs off the bat of Jake Rogers. The first was an RBI sac fly that scored Lex Kaplan in the second. In the fourth, an RBI single drove in Kaplan to make it 2-0. Rogers' final RBI came on a sacrifice bunt in the sixth.
 
For the Privateers, starter, Alex Smith pitched into the sixth and allowed four runs (two earned) while striking out five. Seth Laigast pitched 1.2 scoreless innings out of the pen, and Darron McKigney also threw a shutout frame. Jonathan Santana threw out two runners trying to steal on the night.
 
The Privateers will next start a three-game series against Middle Tennessee. First pitch on Friday is set for 6:30 p.m.
