Something bad happened to Tulane for the first time in the AAC baseball tournament when an errant throw with two outs led to three unearned runs for Texas-San Antonio in the third inning on Saturday.
No worries.
The Green Wave (33-24) shut out the AAC record-holding team for runs scored the rest of the way, punching its ticket to the championship game for the third consecutive year with a comprehensive 6-3 victory at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida.
Fifth-seeded Tulane has won nine in a row at its home away from home, the longest streak in its history. It will be seeking a program-best third consecutive tournament championship against sixth-seeded East Carolina (32-25) on Sunday at 11 a.m. in a game televised by ESPNU.
