GREENVILLE β€” Alec Burleson pitched eight scoreless innings and helped his own cause with an RBI double as East Carolina took a 3-0 win over Georgia Southern on Saturday at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

Matt Bridges pitched the final inning for his first save as the Pirates improved to 4-1.

Lane Hoover led off the bottom of the first for ECU, ranked as high as No. 16 nationally, with a single. Hoover stole second and scored to put the Pirates ahead to stay on a double down the left field line by Burleson.

Bryson Worrell doubled down the right field line to bring in Burleson for a 2-0 ECU lead.

The Pirates added a run in the fourth after Worrell’s leadoff double to right. A sacrifice bunt by Connor Norby moved Worrell to third and a sacrifice fly by Seth Caddell gave the Pirates a 3-0 advantage.

Burleson (1-0), a junior left-hander, allowed two hits and no walks while striking out seven.

β€œIt might have been the best game that he has ever pitched at East Carolina,” said ECU coach Cliff Godwin of Burleson’s effort. “That is a veteran Georgia Southern lineup. They are older. They have an approach. Just the way that he was able to execute pitch after pitch was really impressive.”

Worrell went 3-for-4 as ECU outhit the Eagles, 8-3. Norby was 2-for-2.

Georgia Southern slipped to 3-2. Steven Curry was 2-for-4 to lead the Eagles at the plate.

The teams play a doubleheader Sunday beginning at 11 a.m.
