GREENVILLE — For the second
time is as many days, a sixth-inning grand slam was pivotal for East
Carolina.
This time, it was the
Pirates who benefitted from a bases-loaded blast in an 8-1 win over
UNC-Greensboro at Clark-LeClair Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.
After losing a 3-0 lead
at home on Tuesday night against Campbell and yielding a
fence-clearing drive with the sacks filled in
an eventual 9-4 setback,
ECU's Travis Watkins belted his second home run of the season for
four RBIs against the Spartans.
The blow came with two
out in a seven-run sixth frame for the Pirates as they improved to
10-6.
UNCG (5-9) took a 1-0
lead in the top of the third as a bunt single by Tyler Long scored
Nick Chapman.
ECU got the run back in
the bottom of the inning after Charlie Yorgen singled. He stole his
way to third and came home on a sacrifice fly by Luke Lowery.
The Pirates' big inning
started with a walk to Garrett Brooks, which was followed by a
single through the right side by Jackson Mims. A single by Hunter
Allen brought in the go-ahead run but Mims was out trying to take
third. Parker Lamm grounded out to move Allen to third. Walks to
Yorgen and Bryce Harman loaded the bases. A wild pitch allowed the
runners to move up and provided ECU with a 3-1 lead.
The Spartans
intentionally walked Lowery to reload the bases before changing
pitchers. Eric Tyler drew a walk for a 4-1 lead before Watkins
turned on a pitch and sent it into the jungle area down the left
field line.
The Pirates' 12-hit
attack included a pair of base knocks apiece from Yorgen, Harman,
Watkins, Brooks and Mims. Jeff Nelson and Allen also had hits.
Kirk Morgan (3-0)
pitched two and two-thirds innings in relief of starter Nick Durazo
for the win. Morgan fanned four of the 10 batters he faced. He
allowed one hit, no runs and didn't issue a walk.
Joe Ingle and Ross
Gardner each tossed an inning to close out ECU's second win over the
Spartans.
The Pirates have a
three-game series at Elon beginning with a contest scheduled for 4
p.m. Friday.
