CINCINNATI — Griffin Merritt kept his hot hitting rolling for the Bearcats baseball team on Tuesday in an 8-1 victory over Tulane at the 2022 AAC Tournament.

Merritt smashed two home runs and finished 3-for-4 with two runs, a double, and five RBIs. Starting pitcher Beau Keathley fanned four Green Wave hitters and pitched a complete game—allowing one run.
