WILMINGTON — Chris Gaffney's
three-run homer in the second inning was the big blow as UNC-Wilmington
topped East Carolina 4-2 at Brooks Field on Tuesday night.
The blast to center
field was the first round tripper of the season for the Seahawks
catcher, who was batting seventh in the order.
Gavin Stupienski led off
the second for the hosts with a single to left center. Zach Canada
followed with a hit through the right side.
A sacrifice bunt by
Terence Connelly moved the runners to second and third before
Gaffney connected with a 1-1 pitch from Pirates lefty Reid Love for
a 3-1 UNCW lead.
Charlie Yorgen had given
ECU (16-9) a 1-0 lead with a home run to right in the top of the
first.
The Pirates closed the
gap to 3-2 with a run in the fourth after Luke Lowery was hit by a
pitch. Lowery went to third on a single through the right side by
Bryce Harman and scored on a sacrifice fly by Travis Watkins.
Brian Mims tripled to
right for UNCW in the fifth and scored the final run of the game on
a single to left by Steven Linkous.
Love (2-2) took the
loss, going four and one-third innings. He yielded seven hits, four
earned runs and struck out four without a walk.
The Pirates got
excellent relief work from Joe Ingle and Nick Durazo with neither
allowing a hit or a walk.
Ingle had seven
strikeouts in two and two-thirds innings. Durazo worked the eighth,
fanning two.
ECU pitchers combined
for 13 strikeouts in eight innings.
Whitman Barnes (4-0) was
credited with the win for UNCW (16-6).
The Pirates host High
Point (11-11) at 6:30 tonight. The Panthers turned back visiting
Davidson 15-2 on Tuesday night.
