CLEARWATER, FL — East
Carolina freshman right-hander Joe Ingle survived a bases-loaded
Connecticut threat with a game-ending fly out to left as the Pirates
moved into the championship game of the American Athletic Conference
tournament with a 4-2 win at Bright House Field on Saturday.
Ingle earned his eighth
save as the Pirates (39-20) moved into today's noon championship
game against Houston (ESPNU).
ECU was designated the
visiting team in its fifth win in seven contests with Connecticut in
2015. The Pirates scored twice in the top of the first and led the
rest of the way.
Walks to Hunter Allen,
Charlie Yorgen and Reid Love started the game for ECU. Kirk Morgan's
ground ball to short brought in the first run and Luke Lowery had an
RBI single to center field for a 2-0 Pirates lead.
Allen tripled in the
fifth and Yorgen's sacrifice bunt provided a 3-1 ECU advantage.
Love singled to start
the eighth and Morgan's sacrifice bunt moved him to second. Pinch
runner Parker Lamm came home on a throwing error on a single to left
field by Lowery as the Pirates extended their lead to 4-1.
UConn (35-25) outhit ECU
10-6 but had only lone runs in the first and ninth to show for it.
Blake Davey drove in a run in the bottom of the first and Bobby
Melley had an RBI in the ninth.
Jacob Wolfe (5-2) went
seven innings for the Pirates. He yielded seven hits and one earned
run while striking out six without a walk.
Nick Durazo allowed two
hits in two-thirds of an inning with no walks and two strikeouts.
Ingle went the final one
and one-third. He allowed one hit and one earned run while walking
two with one whiff.
Allen and Lowery each
had two hits for the Pirates. Love and Garrett Brooks also had hits
in ECU's seventh straight win.
