GREENVILLE —
Three East Carolina pitchers combined for a shutout and the bottom of
the Pirates lineup had a productive day as ECU completed a two-game
sweep of George Mason with a 6-0 win on Wednesday.
Freshmen Cam Colmore and
Sam Lanier preceded sophomore Davis Kirkpatrick on the mound.
Colmore got his first win and Kirkpatrick picked up his first save
of the season.
Colmore started and went
four innings. He allowed one hit and walked one while striking out
four.
Lanier came on for two
innings, yielding two hits while striking out a pair.
Kirkpatrick allowed two
hits and fanned three in his three innings.
The Pirates (10-3) took
the lead in the second after a leadoff double to center by Luke
Bolka. A line out to right field by Bryce Harman allowed Bolka to go
to third and he scored on a ground out to second by Wesley Phillips.
Turner Brown bunted his
way aboard to start the third for ECU. A one-out bunt single by
Charlie Yorgen put Brown at second before a walk to Eric Tyler
loaded the bases. A walk to Harman forced home a run for a 2-0
Pirates lead.
The margin increased as
ECU added two runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth.
A one-out double by
Garrett Brooks got the Pirates started in the seventh and Brown
singled for a 3-0 ECU advantage. Brown stole second and wound up at
third on a throwing error. Parker Lamm walked before a sacrifice
bunt by Yorgen brought Brown home.
Jeff Nelson doubled in
the eighth and Brooks walked. A double steal put runners at second
and third. Brown drew a walk to load the bases before a single
through the left side by Lamm plated two runs.
Nelson, Brooks and
Brown, the bottom three in the Pirates' lineup, accounted for four
hits and five runs.
The contest was
witnessed by 2,049 at Clark-LeClair Stadium. George Mason slipped to
2-10.
Next up for ECU is a
trip to take on former Conference USA foe Rice (6-6). That
three-game series starts Friday at 7 p.m. (Eastern time) in Houston.
