GREENVILLE — For the third
time in as many games, East Carolina produced the winning run in its
last at-bat, nipping Duke 3-2 in 10 innings on Wednesday night at Clark-LeClair
Stadium.
Reid Love had an infield
single with one out for ECU (26-16) in the bottom of the 10th with
the score tied at 2. Pirates coach Cliff Godwin inserted Cameron
Snow as a pinch runner for Love and Snow stole second.
Eric Tyler drew a walk
before Luke Lowery singled to right center to score Snow with the
winning run.
Jimmy Boyd (5-7) picked
up the win with two innings of hitless relief.
Jackson Mims went
3-for-4 for ECU with an RBI single in the second inning that
provided a 1-0 lead.
Jalen Phillips had an
RBI double as the Blue Devils (22-18) tied the score at 1 in the top
of the fourth. Garrett Brooks went 2-for-4 for the Pirates with an
RBI single in the bottom of the fourth for a 2-1 lead.
Cris Perez had a
run-scoring single for Duke that tied the score at 2 in the top of
the fifth.
Kirk Morgan, who drove
in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth in
a 6-5 win over N.C. State on Tuesday night,
started and went four innings for ECU. Morgan allowed six hits and
one earned run while walking one and striking out two.
David Lucroy pitched the
sixth, seventh and eighth for the Pirates. He yielded one hit and no
runs, walking one and whiffing three.
Peter Zyla had three of
the Blue Devils' 10 hits. Mike Rosenfeld and Perez each had two hits
in the setback.
The Pirates pushed their
lead in the series to 34-13 with their 13th straight win over Duke.
The teams hadn't met since 2007.
A crowd of 3,271 saw ECU
subdue an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the second straight
night.
The Pirates return to
American Athletic Conference play at home with a 6:30 p.m. game
Friday against Central Florida.
