CHARLOTTE — East Carolina won both ends of a
doubleheader at Charlotte on Saturday to sweep a three-game Conference USA
series from the 49ers.
ECU (13-11, 6-3 C-USA) won the first game 8-5 as Ben
Fultz had three hits and four RBIs. The Pirates won the second game 5-2 as
David Lucroy (1-3) went seven innings and allowed just one hit.
Fultz had five hits and seven RBIs for the day.

of unsuitable weather Sunday.

starter Reid Love in Charlotte's five-run eruption in the bottom of the
fourth and Logan Sherer followed with a two-run double.

five runs in the top of the fifth to tie the score.
Hunter Allen, Zach Houchins, Bryce Harman, Fultz (double)
and Luke Lowery had hits in ECU's big frame.
The Pirates added lone runs in the seventh, eighth and
ninth, outhitting their hosts, 13-9.

two-thirds innings on the mound.

resulted in the go-ahead run for the Pirates.
