GREENVILLE — Eric Tyler set
a school record with eight RBIs as East Carolina took a 13-0 win over
Jacksonville at Clark-LeClair Stadium on Saturday.
Jimmy Boyd (3-1) started
and pitched seven innings in the Pirates' second shutout of the
season. Chris Holba came to the mound for the eighth and Denny Brady
blanked the Dolphins in the ninth.
ECU (16-8) took the
series two games to one.
Tyler hit a 3-run homer
in the bottom of the first for all the runs the Pirates would need.
He launched a grand slam in the eighth.
"I was lucky enough to
have guys on ahead of me," Tyler said. "I was just trying to drive
the baseball and be a complete hitter. I was lucky the wind was
blowing out."
Tyler broke the ECU
record of seven RBIs in a game which was shared by Jim Riley (vs.
Fairfield on March 8, 1987) and Darryl Lawhorn (vs. New York Tech on
February 23, 2002).
Tyler's first home run
of the day sailed over the left field fence after a two-out single
up the middle by Travis Watkins and a walk to Zack Mozingo.
"The 3-run homer was
huge to get us going," said ECU coach Cliff Godwin. "Jimmy Boyd was
tremendous putting up zeroes because the bullpen was kind of thin."
Godwin saw the Pirates
were ready at the outset.
"The guys were focused
in batting practice," he said. "They were locked in."
Boyd limited the
Dolphins (15-8) to five hits while walking two and striking out
three. Holba yielded one hit. After the leadoff batter reached base
on an error in the ninth, Brady ended the game with two ground outs
and a fly out.
Garrett Brooks hit a
two-run homer for a 5-0 ECU lead in the fourth.
Tyler had a sacrifice
fly as the Pirates added three runs in the fifth.
ECU held a 13-6 lead in
hits as Watkins went 3-for-4 with a double and scored three runs.
Dwanya Williams-Sutton went 2-for-3 with a double. Bryce Harman also
doubled.
Dakota Julylia went
2-for-3 to lead the Dolphins offensively.
Spencer Stockton (3-1),
the first of seven Jacksonville pitchers, went four innings and took
the loss.
The Pirates host UNC-Wilmington
on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. The Seahawks are 15-6 going into a Colonial
Athletic Association contest with visiting Elon at 1 p.m. today.
Spring
football at East Carolina is a
time of transition. A virtually
new coaching staff is installing
new systems and the Pirates are
in the process of determining a
starting quarterback.
It
certainly didn't seem like a series
win over Monmouth this past weekend
at Clark-LeClair Stadium. Of course,
it certainly didn't seem like the
first day of spring, either.
