CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Virginia completed a three-game
sweep of East Carolina on Sunday with a 6-2 win before 3,592 at Davenport
Field.
The top-ranked Cavaliers improved to 6-1, scoring all of
their runs with two out.
A four-run third inning started with a two-out walk to
Joe McCarthy, who stole second. Brandon Downes, Derek Fisher, Matt Thaiss
and Nate Irving had consecutive RBI singles to chase Pirates starter David
Lucroy.
Ryan Williams came to the mound for ECU after Lucroy
(0-2) yielded seven hits and four runs (all earned) with one walk and one
strikeout in 2 2/3 innings.
Williams allowed six hits and two runs (both earned) with
no walks and two strikeouts over the last 5 1/3 innings.
Starter Brandon Waddell (1-1) went 5 2/3 for the win.
Whit Mayberry, Kevin Doherty and Nick Howard followed Waddell to the mound.
Doherty walked designated hitter Ian Townsend on four
pitches in the ninth and was pulled. It was the second walk drawn by
Townsend.
ECU had six hits with Zach Houchins going 2-for-4.
Garrett Brooks, Luke Lowery (double), Dylan Brown and Hunter Allen also had
hits for the Pirates (3-4).
The Pirates scored their runs with two down, too,
snapping a scoreless streak that spanned 18 2/3 innings in the top of the
fourth.
Houchins singled with two away and Lowery had an RBI
double. Brown followed with a base hit to bring in Lowery before Brown was
caught in a rundown.

for a 5-2 Virginia lead.
