Cuz Update From The Bayou

Flame-throwing cuz John Cody led the University of New Orleans to a 14-2 win over crosstown foe Tulane last night, ending a seven-game losing streak to the rival Green Wave. With local reports dubbing his performance a “brilliant start” and the “story of the night,” he tossed five shutout innings, giving up just two hits and four walks while starting out seven.

“I could tell from the first pitch that he was ready to go,” UNO coach Tom Walter told the school’s athletic Web site. “He established himself early and was just exceptional today.

"I thought the key to the game was John Cody," the coach added to The Times-Picayune. "He pitched with a lot of confidence, and that gave our team confidence."

After redshirting last year following shoulder surgery, John has a 2-1 record this year, with a 1.59 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 11.1 innings. He’s only given up eight hits and five walks on the season and has helped the Privateers to a 14-9 record.

Keep it up, John!
