Pirate Press: ECU Headlines

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

Back, back, back … in 2016

Travis Watkins hit a 3-run walkoff home run for an 8-6 win over Virginia in the NCAA baseball tournament in 2016. The Pirates descended from Cloud Nine to top William & Mary, 8-4, the following day for the Charlottesville regional championship.

The Cavaliers had won the College World Series in 2015 and were ranked No. 10 when they fell victim to a 5-run rally by ECU in the bottom of the ninth.

That man Watkins hit two homers in the first game of the ensuing Super Regional at Texas Tech for an 8-6 win. It was the Pirates’ first-ever triumph in four Super Regional series. ECU had chances to win the second game but the Red Raiders prevailed, 3-1, in 13 innings.
