GREENVILLE — Evan Kruczynski pitched seven innings without allowing Albany a run as East Carolina took a 5-1 win at Clark-LeClair Stadium on Friday.

The Pirates were scheduled to play in the Irish Classic in Cary but that event was canceled due to snow in central North Carolina.

The Great Danes were enlisted for a three-game series to fill the weekend void.

Luke Lowery hit his fourth home run to break a scoreless tie with two out in the bottom of the fourth after Eric Tyler had reached on an error.

Back-to-back doubles by Jackson Mims and Charlie Yorgen to start the home half of the fifth pushed ECU's lead to 3-0.

Albany (1-3) nicked Pirate reliever Jimmy Boyd for a run in the eighth but ECU scored twice in the bottom of the frame. Boyd threw 13 pitches, 10 for strikes.

Tyler and Garrett Brooks drew one-out walks in the eighth. Jeff Nelson had an RBI single and Travis Watkins produced the final run with a sacrifice fly.

ECU (3-4) recorded nine strikeouts, six by Kruczynski and three by Reid Love, who went the last one and two-thirds innings for his first save.

Kruczynski lowered his earned run average to 0.49.

Nelson went 2-for-4 as ECU outhit the visitors, 7-6.

The series continues with a 2 p.m. game today. Left-hander Jacob Wolfe (0-1, 3.18 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Pirates.
