Virginia Commonwealth busted open a 6-6 tie with a six-run sixth inning and coasted to an 18-11 victory over East Carolina on Tuesday at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

Freshman lefthander Heath Dwyer (2-0) came on in relief for VCU starter Seth Cutler-Voltz in the second inning and picked up the victory. Dwyer surrendered six hits and three runs over 6 1/3 innings.

On a positive note for the Pirates, junior southpaw Jake Harris started the game, his first action in almost a year after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Harris gave up five runs and five hits before giving way after a predetermined stint on the mound to a parade of relief pitchers.

The contest was anything but a crisp affair as VCU outhit the Pirates 18-16. ECU's hurlers issued nine walks and hit five batters.

East Carolina's offensive highlight was a two-run homer by senior catcher Zach Wright in the bottom of the first that helped the Pirates add to an early lead.

ECU used 27 players in the game, including 10 pitchers. Sixteen VCU players saw action, four of them pitchers.

Next up for the Pirates is a three-game home series with Penn State. The teams will play on Friday (6 p.m.), Saturday (2 p.m.) and Sunday (1 p.m.).
