NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team wiped out an early Tulane lead on the way to a 7-3 non-conference win Tuesday at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, snapping the Green Wave's four-game winning streak.
 
Southeastern (26-7) fell behind, 3-0, through the first two innings.
 
Cole Stromboe started a game-tying rally, leading off the third with an infield single. Giovanni Licciardi followed with a single through the right side of the infield, chasing Tulane (21-13) starting pitcher John-Paul Sauer from the game.
 
Two outs later, Conner O'Neal launched a home run down the right-field line off reliever Wes Burton. The three-run blast was his 10^th of the season, making him the second Lion to reach double figures this season.
 
Junior reliever Nick Gisclair quieted down the Tulane bats, striking out three. The right-hander from Prairieville, Louisiana retired all six batters he faced during his two-inning stint.
 
With two outs in the fifth, Ryan Brome dropped a single into right field. After issuing a walk to TJ Salvaggio, Tulane pulled Burton in favor of reliever Garrett Payne. The Lions greeted him with three consecutive singles. O'Neal's single plated Brome for a 4-3 lead. Mo Little followed with an infield hit, driving in Salvaggio for good measure.
 
SLU picked up insurance runs in the seventh, on a Dane Watts RBI single up the middle, and in the ninth on a bases-loaded walk.
 
Brady St. Pierre closed out the game with a strikeout and a double play, logging a scoreless ninth.
 
Chase Ambrose (2-1) earned the win, allowing three runs – two earned – in two innings of work. He scattered four hits and did not walk a batter, striking out a pair. Burton (0-2) suffered the loss for Tulane, allowing three runs – all earned – in 2.2 innings of relief work.
 
In addition to Gisclair and St. Pierre, the Lions received scoreless outings from Kaleb Howell, Truitt Webb and Aiden Vosburg in relief.
 
O'Neal (2-for-4) and Watts (2-for-3) picked up multiple hits apiece for Southeastern.
