STORRS, CT —
East Carolina scored four runs with two out in the first inning and the
Pirates went on to a 7-3 American Athletic Conference win at Connecticut
on Friday afternoon.
The Pirates got
successive singles from Travis Watkins, Eric Tyler, Luke Lowery,
Kirk Morgan and Bryce Harman in their opening at-bat. The Huskies
also committed an error to complete the scoring sequence in the
first frame.
Pirate pitchers Evan
Kruczynski and Nick Durazo effectively protected the lead.
Kruczynski (6-2) started and went six innings. He allowed eight hits
and three earned runs while walking two and striking out two. Durazo
went the final three innings. He didn't allow a hit or a walk
although he hit one batter. Durazo struck out three in earning his
second save.
UConn (24-14, 5-5 AAC)
scored lone runs in the second, fourth and sixth innings.
The Pirates pushed their
lead to 5-2 in the fifth after Hunter Allen led off with a single up
the middle. Charlie Yorgen's sacrifice bunt moved him to second and
Allen went to third on a wild pitch. A sacrifice fly by Watkins
allowed Allen to score.
Lowery singled to right
center to start the sixth. He advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Morgan
and scored on a single by Parker Lamm for a 6-2 ECU lead.
The Pirates added a run
in the ninth following a one-out walk to Garrett Brooks. He moved to
second on a wild pitch and took third on a failed pickoff attempt.
Allen's sacrifice fly produced the final run.

two runs scored and an RBI as ECU outhit their hosts, 10-8. The
Pirates were errorless while the Huskies committed three miscues.
