Pirates
recalibrate for
run at Omaha |
When
Cliff Godwin first put on a
Pirate uniform to play
baseball for East Carolina,
Gary Overton was in his
final year as the team's
head coach and ball was
played at Harrington Field.
But change was underway.
The next year, Keith LeClair
was hired as the new head
coach. LeClair brought with
him a hunger for “Omaha,”
the site of the NCAA's
National Championship. ...

GREENVILLE — Second-ranked
Virginia completed a sweep of its three-game season-opening series at
East Carolina by taking both ends of a doubleheader on Lewis Field at
Clark-LeClair Stadium on Saturday.
The teams played a pair
of games because of the forecast of cold weather Sunday.
The Cavaliers had a
five-run second inning and took advantage of five errors by the
Pirates for a 9-2 win in the first game. Virginia scored twice in
the eighth inning to take a 4-2 win in the second game.
ECU had a brief 1-0 lead
in the first game with a run in the bottom of the first. Hunter
Allen got aboard on an error and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt
by Parker Lamm before Luke Lowery delivered an RBI single to right.
Three errors by the
Pirates contributed to four unearned runs in the top of the second
inning.
Travis Watkins had an
RBI single to drive in the second run for ECU in the bottom of the
ninth.
Connor Jones struck out
eight in six innings in getting the win. Jacob Wolfe made his first
start for the Pirates and went four and two-thirds innings. Only two
of the eight runs scored during his mound stint were earned.
ECU rallied from a 2-0
deficit in the second game to knot the score after the Cavaliers
tallied a lone run in each of their first two turns at the plate.
Matt Thaiss had a solo home run for the visitors in the second.
A run-scoring single by
Garrett Brooks brought the Pirates within 2-1 in the second after
hits by Jeff Nelson and Charlie Yorgen.
ECU loaded the bases
before scoring the tying run in the fifth inning on a ground out to
first by Kirk Morgan. Lamm had singled, Eric Tyler was hit by a
pitch and Watkins walked with one out.
David Lucroy started and
worked five and one-third innings for the Pirates in the second
game. He allowed four hits, two runs, both earned, walked two and
struck out two.
Virginia's decisive
eighth in the second tilt included a go-ahead RBI on a ground out by
Robbie Coman and a run-scoring single by Thaiss.
The Pirates played
errorless defense in the second game. Yorgen had two of ECU's eight
hits.
East Carolina visits Old
Dominion for a 3 p.m. game on Wednesday.
