GREENVILLE — East Carolina won its seventh straight
game as Ryan Williams provided another victorious performance out of the
bullpen Sunday.
Williams upped his record to 8-1 with three scoreless
innings in relief of a solid start by David Lucroy as freshman Charlie
Yorgen delivered a game-winning RBI triple in the eighth inning for a 2-1
triumph over Maryland-Baltimore County.
Dylan Brown singled through the right side to lead off
the eighth inning for ECU (17-11). Eric Tyler's sacrifice bunt moved him to
second. Yorgen tripled down the right-field line with two strikes off of
Jonny Dierks (1-2) to put the Pirates ahead.
Williams threw six pitches in the top of the ninth for
three groundouts to end the three-game series with a sweep of the Retrievers
(5-14).
Williams allowed two hits over three scoreless innings in
the pitchers' duel. He struck out four without a walk.
Lucroy limited UMBC to three hits and an unearned run
while walking one and whiffing three in six innings.
ECU took a 1-0 lead in the fourth as Drew Reynolds
singled to right field. He moved to second on a wild pitch by Retrievers
starter Joe Vanderplas. Reynolds took third on a ground out to second by
Zach Houchins. Ian Townsend's sacrifice fly to center brought Reynolds home.
Rob McCabe walked for UMBC in the sixth. A sacrifice bunt
by Connor Hax moved him to second. McCabe moved to third on a ground out to
Lucroy by Andrew Casali and scored on a passed ball to tie the score.
Brown went 2-for-4 as ECU had four hits.
The Pirates visit N.C. State for a 6 p.m. game Wednesday.
The Wolfpack is 15-11 going into a Tuesday night game at Campbell.
