NEW ORLEANS - For the second consecutive game Southern Miss could not overcome a three-run inning against Tulane as the Golden Eagles fall 4-2 to the Green Wave at Turchin Stadium Saturday night.

Wade Weathers was outstanding out of the bullpen for the Golden Eagles, throwing 4.2 innings to finish the game, allowing only one hit. He gave the Southern Miss hitters every opportunity to get back into the game, setting down 12 straight Green Wave hitters at one point. Southern Miss scored their only two runs on a two-run home run by Trey Cuevas in the third inning. Tulane struck for the games first run in the bottom of the second as Sam Honeck drew a walk and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Warren McFadden for a 1-0 lead. Southern Miss took the first their first lead of the series in the top of the third inning on a Trey Cuevas two-run home run over the left field wall, scoring Brian Dozier who doubled earlier in the inning.
