GREENVILLE — Eric Tyler's
two-out RBI single up the middle on Friday night provided East Carolina
with its third straight walkoff win at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
The Pirates edged
Central Florida 6-5 after Hunter Allen led off the bottom of the
10th inning with a single to center field. Allen advanced to second
on a sacrifice bunt by Charlie Yorgen. A ground out to first by
pinch hitter Bailey Sugg put Allen at third and he scored when Tyler
connected with the first pitch in the last at-bat of the American
Athletic Conference contest.
Game two of the series
has been moved up to a noon start today due to the threat of rain in
the evening.
The Pirates improved to
27-16 overall and 7-6 in league play. Nick Durazo (3-0) went the
last inning and one-third for the win.
Reid Love and Tyler had
RBIs in the first inning as the Pirates took a 2-1 lead. Luke Lowery
drove in a pair of runs with a single through the left side in the
fifth inning for a 4-2 ECU advantage.
In the seventh, a triple
by Kirk Morgan and a sacrifice fly by Travis Watkins pushed the
Pirates' lead to 5-2.
The Knights (26-17, 5-8
AAC) used an RBI double by Dylan More and a two-run homer by James
Vasquez to tie the score at 5 in the top of the ninth.
The Pirates had the
potential winning run at third with one out in the bottom of the
ninth but two strikeouts stranded Morgan. UCF had gotten the first
out of the frame on a play at the plate.
Evan Kruczynski had
another quality start. He went seven innings and limited the Knights
to two earned runs on 10 hits. The sophomore left-hander struck out
10.
