STORRS, CT — Connecticut evened its American Athletic Conference series with East Carolina by taking a 7-3 win on Saturday.

The deciding game of the series is at noon today.

The Huskies came back from a 7-3 loss to the Pirates on Friday by scoring three runs in the third inning and maintaining the lead the rest of the way.

ECU (23-16, 5-6 AAC) had gone ahead 1-0 in the second after a leadoff double by Luke Lowery. Kirk Morgan's bunt single moved him to third and Parker Lamm's sacrifice fly to right field gave the Pirates the early advantage.

UConn's Jon Testani was hit by a pitch with one out in the bottom of the third. Jack Sundberg doubled down the left field line before Vinny Siena singled to drive in two runs for a 2-1 Huskies lead. Bobby Melley singled before Siena scored on a fielder's choice that retired Melley at second.

The Pirates pulled within 3-2 in the fifth as Luke Bolka doubled and scored on an RBI single by Charlie Yorgen.

Melley had a two-run double for UConn (25-14, 6-5) in the seventh.

Morgan's RBI single scored Eric Tyler in the eighth to close the gap to 5-3. A throwing error on the Pirates and an RBI single by Eric Yavarone accounted for two Huskies runs in the bottom of the eighth.

David Lucroy (2-3) took the loss. He allowed five hits over six innings with four earned runs, two walks and two strikeouts. Bolka went 3-for-3 for ECU. Yorgen and Morgan each had two hits.

The Pirates outhit their hosts 11-7 but ECU pitchers yielded five walks and hit two batters.

Anthony Kay (6-3) got the win for UConn and Patrick Ruotolo worked one and two-thirds innings for the save.
