UNO falls to LSU-A in home finale

Stone Speer pitched 7 strong
innings on Senior Day for UNO

On Senior Day, behind the strong pitching of senior Stone Speer, the Privateers maintained a 3-1 lead through seven innings. UNO's bullpen could not hold the lead, however, and the Privateers fell by a 5-4 score to LSU-Alexandria in 11 innings despite outhitting the Generals 10-4.

New Orleans (7-39) split the two-game series and will next face Tulane at Turchin Stadium on Wednesday at 5 p.m. It will be their fourth game against the Green Wave.

It's a slow week in UNO athletics, so... Kwan Johnson's 70-foot game-winner over UALR. Enjoy.

The Busch Challenge ('87, '88, '90)

Sadly, we don't have a lot of archival UNO baseball footage, but should-be national holiday, MLB Opening Day, seems like a good time to bust it out. Here are a few clips of the Privateers at the Superdome for the then-Busch Challenge (later Winn Dixie Showdown) knocking off Miami in 1987, losing to Oklahoma State in 1989, and beating Mississippi State in 1990.
