HOUSTON — Houston moved into
first place in the American Athletic Conference with a 11-1 win in seven
innings over visiting East Carolina on Sunday afternoon.
The Cougars (35-17, 13-8
AAC), ranked No. 21, moved into a one-game lead over the Pirates
(32-20, 12-9) in the league standings by taking the series two games
to one.
AAC regular season play
concludes next weekend with Houston hosting Connecticut and ECU
traveling to Cincinnati.
Seth Romero went the
route for Houston, allowing just two hits. His shutout bid was
spoiled by an Eric Tyler home run in the fifth. The Cougar southpaw
walked four and struck out six.
Corey Julks had a
three-run homer in Houston's six-run fifth inning.
A three-run homer by
Ashford Fulmer gave the Cougars a 4-0 lead in the second.
Charlie Yorgen had the
only other hit for the Pirates to lead off the fourth.
Houston
opened the series with a 10-1 win
on Friday.
The Pirates
bounced back for a 4-1 victory
on the CBS Sports Network on Saturday as Reid Love (6-3) pitched
eight innings and Joe Ingle recorded his fourth save. Luke Lowery
and Bryce Harman belted homers on Saturday for the Pirates, who
knocked four out of Cougar Field over the weekend.
ECU hosts Elon (24-26)
in a nonconference contest at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Pirates swept a
three-game series on the road from the Phoenix on March 13-15.
Elon dropped two of
three at home to Delaware over the weekend to slip to 13-11 in the
Colonial Athletic Association.
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. ...
