CINCINNATI — Luke Lowery's
RBI double in the top of the eighth inning lifted East Carolina to an
8-7 win on Saturday and completed a three-game sweep at Cincinnati.
The Pirates concluded
the regular season at 36-20 overall and 15-9 in the American
Athletic Conference.
ECU is the No. 2 seed
for the league tournament next week in Clearwater, FL, and will meet
No. 7 Central Florida at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Despite taking a 5-0
lead in the second inning, the Pirates had to withstand a comeback
by the Bearcats as the hosts honored alumnus and retiring major
leaguer Kevin Youkilis before the contest at Marge Schott Stadium.
Bryce Harman and Charlie
Yorgen each had two-run homers in the second inning as ECU won its
fourth straight game.
Lowery and Travis
Watkins singled in the fifth for the Pirates. Kirk Morgan reached on
an error that allowed Lowery to score for a 6-1 ECU lead. Harman
picked up an RBI on a ground out later in the frame for a 7-1
Pirates cushion.
Ian Happ's two-run
double cut the lead to 7-3 in the bottom of the fifth.
R.J. Thompson had a
run-scoring single in the sixth to get the Bearcats within 7-4.
Devin Wenzel's two-run
homer in the seventh after an RBI single by Joey Thomas tied the
score at 7.
Nick Durazo (4-0) got
the win in relief. He allowed one hit and struck out two in one
scoreless inning. Joe Ingle got the last two outs of the game for
his sixth save.
Left-hander Jacob Wolfe
started and left after five innings with a 7-3 lead. Wolfe allowed
seven hits, three earned runs and struck out four while walking one.
Getting two hits each
for ECU were Hunter Allen, Lowery, Travis Watkins and Reid Love.
Harman drove in three runs.
Happ led Cincinnati
(15-39, 6-18 AAC), going 3-for-5 with two RBIs.
