GREENVILLE — East Carolina rallied from a 4-0 deficit after a half-inning Friday night for a 9-7 American Athletic Conference win over visiting Cincinnati.

ECU pulled within 4-1 in the bottom of the first when Zach Agnos scored on a double play. The Pirates added four runs in the fourth as Josh Moylan and Jacob Starling had RBI singles. Another run scored on one of three errors by Cincinnati. Agnos gave ECU a 5-4 lead with a sacrifice fly.

Paul Komistek had a solo homer in a 2-run fifth that provided a 6-5 lead for the visitors.

ECU regained the upper hand in the bottom of the fifth on a Bearcats miscue and an RBI single by Moylan.
