East Carolina received a bid
to the NCAA Tournament on Monday and will be returning to Virginia's
Davenport Field where the Pirates
won
two of three against the Cavaliers in a series
Feb. 26-28.
ECU (34-21-1) is the
No. 3 seed for the Charlottesville regional and will meet
second-seeded Bryant (47-10) of the Northeast Conference at 6 p.m.
Friday.
Host Virginia (37-20),
the regional's No. 1 seed, meets fourth-seeded William & Mary
(29-29) at 1 p.m. Friday.
Friday's losing teams
play at 1 p.m. Saturday in an elimination game. Friday's winning
teams meet at 6 p.m. Saturday.
All games in the
double-elimination regional are scheduled to be shown on ESPN3.
The Charlottesville
regional is bracketed with the Lubbock regional, hosted by Texas
Tech. That field includes the top-seeded Red Raiders, No. 2 Dallas
Baptist, No. 3 New Mexico and No. 4 Fairfield.
The winners of those
respective regionals will play a best two of three in a Super
Regional, beginning June 10, for a berth in the College World
Series, which starts June 18, in Omaha, NE.
The Pirates are in the
NCAA Tournament for the 28th time. ECU
went 0-2 in the Coral Gables regional
in 2015 after
winning the American Athletic Conference
Tournament last year.
The Pirates will be
looking to snap out of a mini-slump that produced
an 0-2 performance in the AAC Tournament
this year.

Radio 1250 on Mondays at 6:30
