CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina
scored five runs on one hit in the sixth inning and defeated East
Carolina 9-1 on Tuesday night.
UNC (31-17) got the
benefit of five walks, a hit batter and two wild pitches in its big
frame. Logan Warmoth had a single in the sixth that scored two runs
as the Tar Heels outhit the Pirates, 12-7.
The hosts scored lone
runs in the first, fourth and fifth innings to lead 3-0 before ECU
freshmen pitchers Denny Brady and Matt Bridges encountered control
problems in the sixth.
Evan Voliva, who took
the loss in
a
17-4 UNC victory in Greenville on March 15,
came on to get ECU out of the disastrous inning.
UNC managed an unearned
run off Zack Mozingo in the eighth.
Brandon Riley and
Warmoth had three hits each for the Heels. Riley had the first
inning RBI that put the hosts ahead to stay.
That was the only run
allowed by Pirates starter Davis Kirkpatrick (0-3) in two innings.
He yielded three hits and walked two.
Eric Tyler and Jeff
Nelson each had doubles for ECU.
The Pirates (30-17-1)
avoided a shutout in the ninth when Garrett Brooks had a one-out
single and later scored on a hit by Ryan Littlefield.
A.J. Bogucki (4-5) got
the win, relieving starter Hunter Williams in the third. Bogucki
allowed three hits over four and one-third innings with three walks
and one strikeout.
ECU is back in action
on Friday at 6:30 p.m. for the start of a three-game American
Athletic Conference series at home against South Florida (21-27).
The Pirates are 11-6-1
in league play while the Bulls are 6-12.
East
Carolina coach Cliff Godwin said his
team would play even better when
exams ended. It’s all baseball now,
and the Pirates opened this new
stage of the year with three huge
conference wins at Connecticut.
