situation |
The East Carolina
quarterback situation will
get a lot of Dave Nichol's
attention in the offseason
with the exit of Shane
Carden, who started for most
of the last three seasons
and recently took part in
the NFL combine after a
record breaking college
career and a couple of
conference offensive player
of the year awards. ...

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.
