RALEIGH — East Carolina's
recent search for offense continued with a 6-1 loss at N.C. State on
Monday night.
Since beating the
Wolfpack 15-3 in Greenville
six nights earlier, the
Pirates have managed just eight runs in five games, going 2-3 in
those contests.
NCSU (29-11) evened the
season series with the help of a three-run home run by Evan Mendoza
in the second inning that was initially ruled a foul ball.
Replays appeared to show
the ball landing well to the left of the left field foul pole.
The disputed blast gave
the Wolfpack a 4-1 lead and ECU coach Cliff Godwin promptly pulled
starter Nick Durazo (1-1).
Chris Holba came in for
four innings, allowing one run in the sixth. He allowed two hits and
two walks while striking out two.
Sam Lanier yielded one
hit and struck one in two-thirds of an inning.
Matt Bridges tossed the
last two innings, giving up an unearned run in the eighth. He walked
one and struck out three.
ECU (26-15) took a 1-0
lead in the second after Travis Watkins led off with a single and
went to second on a wild pitch by Ryan Williamson (7-1), normally a
weekend starter.
Luke Bolka walked before
Watkins went to third on a double play. Turner Brown's RBI single up
the middle gave the Pirates the lead.
Watkins and Charlie
Yorgen had two hits apiece for ECU, which outhit the Pack, 8-6.
Yorgen had a double but was among nine runners stranded by the
Pirates. State left six on base.
ECU will be at home this
weekend for a three-game American Athletic Conference series with
league-leading Cincinnati that starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Just
when you thought the quarterback
position at East Carolina was
stabilized, junior QB Kurt Benkert
stunned the Pirate nation by
announcing plans to transfer out of
the ECU program.
