GREENVILLE —
Two East Carolina errors in the top of the first inning helped Tennessee
to a 3-0 lead and the Volunteers went on to take a 5-2 win in the Keith
LeClair Classic on Saturday.
Three of Tennessee's
runs were unearned as the Pirates committed four errors.
ECU (7-3) stranded 11.
"We had bases loaded
twice with one out and didn't get anything to show for it," said
Pirates coach Cliff Godwin.
ECU left the sacks
filled in the first and the fourth against Vols starter Zach Warren
(3-0), a sophomore left-hander who walked two and struck out seven
in six and two-thirds innings.
A sacrifice fly by
Jordan Rodgers extended Tennessee's lead to 4-0 in the sixth.
The Pirates cut the lead
to 4-2 in the seventh. Turner Brown led off with a single to center.
Charlie Yorgen singled with one out. Eric Tyler brought in two runs
with a double to right.
Rodgers singled in the
last run of the game in the eighth for his third RBI of the game.
Jacob Wolfe (2-1)
pitched seven innings for the Pirates. He yielded seven hits and
four runs, one earned, with no walks and two strikeouts.
Davis Kirkpatrick
pitched the last two innings for ECU. He allowed three hits and one
earned run with no walks and no whiffs.
Jon Lipinski pitched the
ninth for the Volunteers (7-2) for his third save.
A crowd of 2,984 was on
hand at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Terps win again
Maryland won its second
game in the LeClair event by topping Southeastern Louisiana 8-1 in
the first game on Saturday. Freshman Marty Costes had a 3-run homer
for Maryland (5-4) and finished with four RBIs. The Lions dropped to
5-5 going into an 11 a.m. game with Tennessee today.
ECU meets the Terps at
3:30 this afternoon. Maryland is 2-0 in the round robin format. The
Pirates and Tennessee are each 1-1. Southeastern Louisiana is 0-2.
