The Johnnies will play four games in as many days beginning in New Orleans on Feb. 24
QUEENS, N.Y. (Feb. 23, 2023) – After going 1-2 in its opening weekend slate against Old Dominion, the St. John's baseball team will look to get back on the winning track this weekend, taking on Tulane and Southeastern Louisiana.
The Johnnies are slated for three games in New Orleans against the Green Wave, playing back-to-back 7 p.m. contests on Friday and Saturday before wrapping up its series with a 2 p.m. showdown on Sunday. The Red Storm will close out the road trip in Hammond with a 7 p.m. game against the Lions.
St. John's (1-2) is coming off of a tough opening weekend against Old Dominion, dropping the final two games after taking the season opener, 7-6, in extras on Friday. The Red Storm erased a four-run deficit behind two-RBI performances from David Glancy, Aaron Mann and Jackson Tucker. Outfielder Paul Orbon knocked home the game-winning run in the top of the 10th, lacing a single through the left side to plate Tucker.
Drury transfer Mann put on a show throughout opening weekend, helping the Red Storm to its comeback win on Friday night with a key two-out, two-run single in the seventh to take its first lead of the contest. The Little Rock, Ark., native also smack three hits in game two and two base knocks in game three, finishing the weekend with a .500/.571/.583 slash line, three RBIs and two runs scored. His average through opening weekend paces the BIG EAST.
Sophomore outfielder Tucker will look to extend his 22-game reached-base streak this weekend, a stretch that started on April 20, 2022, against Fairleigh Dickinson. The Staten Island native scored a team-best five runs over the weekend, going 3-for-12 at the dish with four walks and a double.
Freshmen Louis Marinaro and Jimmy Keenan had emphatic debuts for the Red Storm against Old Dominion. Marinaro tossed an efficient 1.2 innings of work against the Monarchs, striking out three batters while throwing 24 of his 28 pitches for strikes. Keenan roped an opposite-field homer in his first collegiate at-bat during the ninth inning on Sunday.
The Johnnies will take on Tulane for just the second time in program history. The Red Storm emerged victorious in its first meeting, 6-3, on March 20, 1989.
The Green Wave enters the weekend slate with a 0-4 mark after starting the season on the West Coast, dropping three to UC Irvine before falling to Cal State Fullerton in walk-off fashion on Tuesday, 6-5.
Brennan Lambert has paced the Green Wave's lineup with seven hits through the first four games, slashing .467/.467/.733 with a solo shot. Three of the team's four starting pitchers boast an ERA under 2.30, including Ricky Castro, who tossed 5.2 blank innings and allowed just two hits against UC Irvine on Sunday.
St. John's will square off with Southeastern Louisiana for the first time in team history. The Lions enter the weekend on the heels of five-straight wins to start 2023, including a four-game sweep over Lafayette. SELU paces the nation in OBP (.521), shutouts (2) and stolen bases (25) while sitting second in base on balls (48) and fifth in runs per game (14.4).
Entering Thursday, Lions' fifth-year Tyler Finke leads Division I with 12 runs and ranks second in stolen bases with nine. Teammate Christian Garcia sits behind Finke on the national leaderboard in fourth with 10 runs scored, followed by Rhett Rosevear in ninth with nine tallies.
Opening day starter Brennan Stuprich tossed six blank innings and struck out 10 batters against Lafayette. Fellow hurlers Aaron Hosack and Will Kinzeler also threw five or more scoreless frames to open the season, keeping the team ERA at 2.41 and opposing batting average at .219.
