ORLANDO — East Carolina
scored two runs on two Central Florida errors and the Pirates never
trailed in a 5-3 American Athletic Conference win Thursday.
The game started at 11
a.m. and today's game is scheduled to get under way at 11 this
morning as well to avoid potential rain later in the day.
The third game of the
series on Saturday has also been moved up to an 11 a.m. start.
ECU junior left-hander
Evan Kruczynski (6-1) found the early start to his liking as he
pitched into the ninth inning before Joe Ingle came in to get the
last two outs and his 12th save.
Kruczynski scattered 11
hits as the Knights held a 13-12 lead in hits. Kruzynski yielded
three runs, all earned, while walking one and striking out three.
ECU (32-19-1, 13-8-1
AAC) scored lone runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh innings
before UCF (25-29, 8-14) scored twice in a ninth-inning comeback
bid.
Luke Bolka hit his
third home run of the season in the fourth for a 3-0 Pirates lead.
In the fifth, Dwanya
Williams-Sutton doubled for ECU. Turner Brown's sacrifice bunt
allowed him to go to third and he scored on a ball hit to short by
Travis Watkins.
Parker Lamm singled in
the seventh, moved to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third
on a sacrifice bunt by Charlie Yorgen.
Brown's RBI single to
short gave ECU a 5-1 lead.
Williams-Sutton went
3-for-5. Brown was 2-for-2 with two walks. Yorgen finished 2-for-4.
Logan Heiser was
2-for-4 for UCF with a two-run homer in the ninth.
Officially,
East Carolina didn't lose the
American Athletic Conference regular
season crown this past weekend, but
it certainly felt that way. South
Florida came to town with very
little to play for
