The diamond rivalry between No. 15 East Carolina and
UNC Wilmington has taken another hit from the weather. The Wednesday night
game between the teams at Harrington Field was halted by rain after three
innings with the Seahawks leading 1-0.
It was the second time this season inclement weather
has interfered with an ECU-UNCW match-up. The Pirates'
road game against the Seahawks on March 31
was also rained out.
No make-up date has been announced for either game,
according to an
announcement on ECUPirates.com.
ECU, which last season lost both of its games with
UNCW, will now turn its attention to a three-game weekend series at
Conference USA opponent Cincinnati.
The Pirates and Bearcats are scheduled to meet at 3 p.m. on Friday, 4 p.m.
on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday, with all three games tentatively set to be
broadcast by Pirate Radio 1250 and streamed live by Bonesville.net.

schedule.
Green Wave pitcher
grabs national spotlight
Tulane sophomore Brian Bogusevic was named National
Pitcher of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association
(NCBWA).
Bogusevic is the fourth Conference USA player this
season to be named National Player of the Week, according to an announcement
from the organization.
The southpaw earned the award after tossing a
career-best 8 and two-thirds shutout innings in a 1-0 Green Wave win last
week at then-No. 2 LSU.
Bogusevic joins Memphis pitcher Derek Hankins, Southern Miss outfielder Ryan
Frith and Southern Miss pitcher Cliff Russum in earning the national honor
this season.
C-USA has had a total of 38 players receive National
Player of the Week recognition from the NCBWA in the league’s nine seasons.
Hoops honcho Hodge
hangs tight at State
RALEIGH — Julius Hodge announced Wednesday that he
will stay at North Carolina State for his senior year, choosing not to enter
the NBA Draft.
Hodge, the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year and
second-team All-American, led the Wolfpack to a second-place regular-season
finish in the ACC and a third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.
The 6-foot-7 swingman cited his desire to win a conference championship and
fulfill a promise to his mother to earn a degree as reasons for staying.
Hodge also said his decision to stay at N.C. State wasn't influenced by
analysts' projections of his pro potential.
"One more year of ACC basketball isn't going to hurt," he said. "I was
pretty confident if I left this year I would be in a pretty good position."
Hodge led the ACC in field-goal percentage (51.3) and was second in scoring
(18.6) this season.
