Outlook is sunny for
Pirates in '16 |
|
 The
recent cold weather has not been suited for baseball but the East
Carolina program has been making the best of the situation with the
season opener at home against Longwood today at 4 p.m. The Lancers
were 22-34 overall last season and 9-15 in the Big South Conference.

 Ol'

“Surprise,

That's
how East
Carolina's
baseball
team
celebrated
its 2015
American
Athletic
Conference
championship
last
season.
Nobody
expected
the
Pirates,
with a
first-year
coach,
to post
40
victories
and walk
off with
the
league's
top
trophy. ...

GREENVILLE — East Carolina
junior left-hander Evan Kruczynski pitched seven scoreless innings as
the Pirates opened the baseball season with an 11-1 nonconference win
over visiting Longwood on Friday.
A crowd of 2,661 at
Clark-LeClair Stadium saw Kruczynski allow just one hit before
freshman Sam Lanier and senior Nick Durazo each tossed an inning of
relief. Kruczynski struck out four and walked one.
The ECU hurlers had
plenty of run support as the Pirates had 15 hits. Turner Brown and
Eric Tyler each had three hits against the Lancers, a Big South
Conference program.
Brown, a true freshman,
had a home run and three RBIs.
Garrett Brooks, Bryce
Harman and Parker Lamm each had two hits for ECU.
The Pirates took a 2-0
lead in the third as Lamm scored on a throwing error and Harman had
an RBI single that brought in Travis Watkins.
Brown had a two-run
homer in the fourth inning. His RBI double in the sixth extended
ECU's lead to 5-0. Tyler had an RBI single in the seventh.
A five-run eighth inning
included an RBI single by Lamm, a two-run double by Watkins and a
two-run single by freshman Dwanya Williams-Sutton.
Nine of ECU's runs came
with two out. The Pirates improved to 44-25 in season openers.
The three-game series
with the Lancers continues with a 2 p.m. start today. ECU is
expected to start junior lefty Jacob Wolfe this afternoon.
