HOUSTON — Host Houston
defeated East Carolina 10-1 on Friday night to take first place in the
American Athletic Conference standings.
Ashford Fulmer had a
two-run double for the Cougars in the bottom of the second and
Houston (34-16, 12-7 AAC) led the rest of the way.
Luke Lowery's solo homer
in the sixth accounted for ECU's scoring and cut Houston's lead to
3-1.
Hunter Allen went
3-for-4 for the Pirates (31-19, 11-8) and Eric Tyler was 2-for-2.
Evan Kruczynski (6-4)
started for ECU and went five and one-third innings. He allowed six
hits and five runs, all earned. He walked four and struck out two.
Andrew Lantrip (8-1)
worked eight innings and scattered eight hits for the Cougars. He
walked two and struck out nine.

There’s
a price to winning in college sports. And
it’s a lot more expensive than just hard
work, dedication and all those other noble
traits we love to talk about. It takes
money. Lots of money. ...
