Senior southpaw Kevin Brandt outdueled Tyler Johnson, Stony Brook's pitching ace, as East Carolina eked out a 1-0 victory on Friday at Clark-LeClair Stadium, ending the Seawolves' nation-leading, 15-game road winning streak.

Brandt (2-1) got credit for the win after muffling Stony Brook on four hits while striking out four and walking two before giving way after eight innings to closer Drew Reynolds.

A freshman righthander, Reynolds gave up a ninth-inning leadoff single to senior first baseman Pat Cantwell, then retired the side on a strike out and a double play to pick up his fourth save of the young season.

Johnson (0-1) went the distance for Stony Brook, retiring 16 of the first 17 batters he faced. The senior righthander allowed six hits and walked two.

The Pirates (6-2) finally nicked Johnson for the game's only run in the sixth. After singles by junior outfielder Philip Clark and sophomore shortstop Jack Reinheimer, junior outfielder Bryan Bass walked to load the bases.

Senior third baseman Corey Thompson launched a sacrifice fly to bring in Clark for the decisive score.

On three occasions, East Carolina turned double plays to snuff out potential uprisings by the previously unbeaten Seawolves (4-1).

The teams will play the second in their three-game series on Saturday at 6 p.m. instead of at the originally-scheduled 2 p.m. Inclement weather expected to arrive on Saturday prompted officials to change the game time.
