GREENVILLE A throwing
error by East Carolina catcher Tyler Watkins on a pickoff attempt
allowed Virginia Commonwealth pinch runner Haiden Lamb to score the
winning run from third base in the eighth inning on Sunday afternoon at
Clark-LeClair Stadium.
The Rams (11-10) edged
ECU 3-2 to take the nonconference series two games to one.
VCU sandwiched a pair of
one-run wins around a 9-3 ECU triumph on Saturday.
The Pirates dropped to
16-8 this season with six of their losses to teams from Virginia,
including three to then No. 2-Virginia (Feb. 13-14) and one to
Liberty (Feb. 22) in the Keith LeClair Classic, which ECU went on to
win.
Darian Carpenter walked
to lead off the eighth for the Rams and Lamb was inserted to run.
Cody Acker's sacrifice bunt moved Lamb to second. Lamb stole third
before Luke Bolka struck out pinch hitter Alex Gransback for the
second out of the inning.
The deciding throwing
error came after Joe Ingle came to the mound in relief of Bolka.
Jimmy Boyd (2-5) yielded
the walk to Carpenter in the eighth and absorbed the loss.
ECU tied the visitors
twice after VCU forged a pair of one-run leads.
A double by Logan Farrar
to start the game led to an RBI single by Vimael Machin for a 1-0
Rams lead.
Walks to Watkins and
Garrett Brooks to start the Pirates' half of the second inning
preceded a sacrifice bunt by Jackson Mims and a score-tying ground
out by Kirk Morgan.
Carpenter singled to
start VCU in the fourth and a sacrifice bunt moved him to second.
Brett Hileman's RBI single gave the Rams a 2-1 lead.
Brooks walked in the
bottom of the fourth, took second on a wild pitch and scored to tie
the score at 2 on a single down the right field line by Morgan.
The Pirates had five
hits with Morgan going 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Bryce Harman doubled
to right to start ECU in the eighth but he was thrown out at third
on a ground ball to short.
David Lucroy started for
the Pirates and went three and two-thirds innings. He allowed six of
VCU's nine hits and two earned runs with two walks and one
strikeout.
Nick Durazo followed
with two and one-third innings of work. He allowed two hits and
fanned three without a walk. Reid Love pitched the ninth, allowing
one hit and striking out one.
The Pirates visit UNC-Wilmington
(15-6) for a 6 p.m. game Tuesday.
