Owls lose to top-seeded Green Wave
· A year after suffering the biggest upset in NCAA Division I baseball tournament history -- losing to Texas Southern University at home in the 2004 regional -- the baseball team pulled off an upset of its own, beating Louisiana State University at their famed home field, Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., to win its June regional. The regional championship gave the Owls a super-regional berth in New Orleans, where they fell to top-ranked Tulane University in three games.
