CLEARWATER, Fla. — Junior outfielder Jackson Linn's walk-off homerun gave Tulane Baseball an 11-10 win over Wichita State and the Green Wave back-to-back American Athletic Conference tournament championships in Clearwater, Fla., on Sunday.
The Wave (35-24) went 4-0 in the conference tournament and have won 9 of their last 10 games en route to the championship.
The win marks the first time a team has won two straight AAC tourney titles.
"I'm gratified for our players and our staffs and our families – and our naysayers, the non-believers," said second-year Wave head coach Jay Uhlman after the win. "But hopefully along the way if there were some non-believers that believe, we're cool with that, too. I'm gratified with the development and growth of this team."
Tulane Sports Information said ticket information for the regional will be available on Monday after the selection show, but tickets will be extremely limited and availability will be determined by the host institution.
