GREENVILLE — East Carolina
faced its first deficit of the young season and responded by rallying
for a 5-3 nonconference win over Longwood on Sunday afternoon before
3,067 at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Pirates starter Jimmy
Boyd yielded a pair of runs in the opening frame but ECU scored
three times in the bottom of the first and led the rest of the way
to sweep three games from the Lancers of the Big South Conference.
Parker Lamm started the
Pirates in the bottom of the first with a bunt single. Travis
Watkins singled to put ECU runners at first and third. Bryce Harman
singled to center on a full-count pitch to bring in Lamm.
Eric Tyler drove in
Watkins with the tying run on a single to left. A sacrifice fly by
Dwanya Williams-Sutton brought in the go-ahead run.
A two-out triple by Jeff
Nelson in the fourth scored Wesley Phillips for a 4-2 Pirates lead.
ECU's final run came
with two down in the seventh after a single through the right side
by Charlie Yorgen. Watkins followed with an RBI double to give the
Pirates a 5-3 advantage.
Boyd worked five innings
for the win. He allowed four hits and struck out three without a
walk.
Nick Durazo struck out
five in two innings of relief. He allowed three hits and one earned
run.
Joe Ingle held the
visitors scoreless in the eighth and ninth for his second save. He
gave up one hit and had one strikeout.

did not issue a walk and the Pirates were errorless on defense.
