win at East Carolina on Sunday to prevent a three-game sweep in the
series by the Pirates.
Dennis (2-2) started and went eight
innings. He lost a bid for a perfect game when he hit Charlie Yorgen
with a pitch with one out in the sixth.
He had a no-hitter until Kirk
Morgan's pinch hit single through the right side in the eighth.
Bryce Harman had walked before Morgan
broke up the no-hitter and Parker Lamm pinch ran for him.
The Hawks had a triple play on a line
out by Garrett Brooks to first baseman Shaine Hughes to end the eighth.
It was the first triple play in
Clark-LeClair Stadium history.

strikeouts. Andrews retired the Pirates in order in the ninth on 12
pitches.

with Duke at Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

as Monmouth improved to 7-11.

third, fourth and eighth innings. Monmouth had nine hits off of three
ECU pitchers.

the Pirates and went three innings. He allowed three hits, two runs
