opened its American Athletic Conference series at Cincinnati with a 7-3
win on Thursday night.
Reid Love (7-3) pitched
seven innings as a three-run fifth inning put the Pirates (34-20,

behind Houston (37-17, 14-8), which defeated visiting Connecticut
5-4 in 10 innings, in the AAC standings.
Third-place Memphis
(35-17, 12-10) topped Tulane, 7-3.

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. ...
