GREENVILLE — East Carolina overcame an early 4-0
deficit with the help of Reid Love's pitching and Dylan Brown's hitting to
deal UNC-Wilmington an 8-5 nonconference loss at Clark-LeClair Stadium on
Wednesday night.
Love (3-3) delivered seven and two-thirds innings of
effective relief after the Seahawks had taken a 4-0 lead in the second
inning. Love allowed just two hits and one run (earned) with three walks and
three strikeouts.
Drew Reynolds came to the mound to get the final out for
his fifth save of the season.
Brown paced an 11-hit attack with a 3-for-5 effort that
included a double and two RBIs.
The Pirates improved to 22-15 overall going into the
start of a three-game Conference USA series at home with Middle Tennessee
State at 6 tonight.
A two-run homer by Ryan LaGrange of the Seahawks was the
big blow as the visitors took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. UNCW
(17-19) added an unearned run in the second for a 4-0 lead.
Ian Townsend singled to right center to start a five-run
fourth that put the Pirates ahead to stay. Luke Lowery drew a walk and the
runners moved up on a passed ball. Charlie Yorgen had an RBI single to right
field. Kirk Morgan's sacrifice fly pulled ECU within 4-2. Brown's two-run
double tied the score at 4. Reynolds had an RBI single to left field that
put the Pirates ahead, 5-4.
ECU added three runs in the sixth after singles by Yorgen
and Brooks. Morgan's sacrifice bunt moved the runners up. A wild pitch
allowed Yorgen to score and Brooks took third. A balk brought Brooks in. An
RBI double by Zach Houchins scored Reynolds, who had walked and stolen
second.
Houchins and Yorgen each went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Reynolds threw two pitches in the ninth, getting a ground
out to strand runners at second and third.
