NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Tulane (2-2) snapped its four-game losing streak against the University of New Orleans (2-2) with a 7-1 victory Tuesday night.
Tulane pitching frustrated UNO hitters all night while Jared Hart and Collin Burns combined for five hits, four RBIs, and three runs scored to lead the Green Wave to a decisive win.

A new $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities will fund enhanced access to the Freedom on the Move digital database and the development of a range of new tools and materials that will facilitate educational and scholarly uses, researchers say.
Freedom on the Move, housed at Cornell University, is the largest digital collection of newspaper advertisements for people escaping from North American slavery. The ads, placed by enslavers, are culled from 18th- and 19th-century U.S. newspapers and are used to document the lives of people escaping bondage.
University of New Orleans history professor Mary Niall Mitchell is a lead historian for that online database.
Amy Crider, a Chicago playwright, is the winner of the sixth annual University of New Orleans Press Lab Prize, which comes with a $10,000 advance and a contract to publish in fall 2021, the University of New Orleans Press announced Wednesday.
Crider won the Lab competition with her psychological thriller “Disorder”, which took shape from Crider’s personal experience.
“In 1992, as a young woman, I had a fierce battle with bipolar disorder,” Crider said. “I experienced particularly paranoid mania. I was often lucid, of course, and I found myself thinking, ‘It’s a good thing I’m not involved in a murder right now, or I’d really be in trouble!’ I knew I wanted to write that story someday.”
