note |
|

baseball season with a sweep of Longwood at Clark-LeClair Stadium. The
season is a marathon and not a sprint. Still, second-year head coach
Cliff Godwin and the Pirates were more than excited to get the opening

GREENVILLE � East Carolina
outhit North Carolina A&T 15-5 in an 11-2 nonconference win on Tuesday
afternoon.
The game was originally
scheduled for Wednesday but was moved up due to the threat of severe
weather today.
Charlie Yorgen had a
career-high four hits as the Pirates improved to 4-0.
ECU scored six runs in
the bottom of the first and never trailed the 0-4 Aggies.
Parker Lamm walked to
start the initial frame and Yorgen followed with a bunt single. A
double steal put runners at second and third. Travis Watkins walked
to load the bases before Bryce Harman delivered a triple to left
center for a 3-0 Pirates lead.
Dwanya Williams-Sutton
had an RBI double with one out for a 4-0 advantage. A run-scoring
triple by Garrett Brooks put ECU ahead, 5-0.
Brooks scored on a wild
pitch.
That was plenty of run
support as the Pirates spread the mound duties between six pitchers.
Kirk Morgan started, went three innings and was credited with the
win.
Morgan allowed runs in
the second and third before Evan Voliva tossed two scoreless
innings. Sam Lanier, Chris Holba, Matt Bridges and Cam Colmore each
worked an inning. ECU pitchers recorded 11 strikeouts and issued one
walk. The Pirates were errorless in the field.
Brooks finished 3-for-3
with a double and a triple.
Lamm and Williams-Sutton
each had two hits.
A crowd of 1,999 took in
the midweek contest.
ECU starts a three-game
series at defending College World Series champion Virginia (3-1) at
3 p.m. on Friday.
