 Even
though East Carolina may well have acquired
the best crop of running backs in program
history via recruiting and transfers over
the past year, don't expect the Pirate to
ignore the position while pursuing prospects

BUIES CREEK — East Carolina
scored three runs in the second inning and led the rest of the way in a
7-5 nonconference win at Campbell on Tuesday night.
A two-out single to
right field by Jackson Mims got the Pirates (20-13) started in the
second. Hunter Allen followed with a single through the right side.
Reid Love singled through the left side to load the bases.
Charlie Yorgen's single
drove in two runs and an error allowed Love to come home for a 3-0
ECU lead.
Cole Hallum, who had a
grand slam in
Campbell's 9-4 win in Greenville
on March 10, had a solo homer to left in the bottom of the second to
cut the Pirates' lead to 3-1.
"They had a big inning
last time and we couldn't get out of it," said Pirates coach Cliff
Godwin. "Tonight our guys fought hard. It wasn't easy but we had a
bunch of two-out RBIs.
"We played errorless
defense."

earned runs while walking one and striking out three.
