Senior guard Sam Hinnant scored a game-high 19 points, freshman forward Darrius Morrow added 13 points and sophomore center Chad Wynn had a game-high 10 rebounds to lead East Carolina to a 63-60 win over Winthrop Saturday night in Rock Hill, SC.

The Pirates overcame an early 11-point advantage by the Eagles to pull within one at the half. The teams traded momentum and leads several times in the final frame.

Winthrop led 60-59 with 1:07 left when Hinnant made a basket to put the Pirates on the top end of the final lead swap. Sophomore guard Brock Young's layup with 25 seconds remaining accounted for the final margin as the Eagles were unable to convert opportunities into points.

Junior forward Mantoris Robinson led the Eagles with 14 points and senior forward Cameron Stanley, a Wake Forest transfer, and freshman forward Chris Malcolm added 10 apiece.

The outcome ended East Carolina's four-game losing streak to Winthrop dating back to 1988.

Next up for the Pirates is a game at UNC-Wilmington on Wednesday (7 p.m., WITN-TV 7). The Seahawks are 3-4 after a 97-64 pasting by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday in the South Padre Island Invitational.
