Pirate Press: ECU Headlines

Bonesville Rewind: Some of Pirates’ biggest moments, 2010-2019 by Al Myatt 

Run through the regional

ECU coach Cliff Godwin cited the percentage of teams that win an NCAA baseball regional after losing their first game and the number was low, but that was the situation the host Pirates faced after falling to Quinnipiac last season.

ECU battled back to beat N.C. State, Quinnipiac and Campbell (twice) to defy the odds, outscoring their foes, 44-11, in the last four games of the regional.

Unfortunately, the Pirates were pretty much out of gas, emotionally and otherwise, for the ensuing Super Regional at Louisville.
