Sasser, Pirates ice Cougars

From staff reports

Neither snow nor sleet could keep East Carolina pitcher Dustin Sasser from completing his appointed rounds on Saturday at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

It was the second straight weekend Sasser (1-0) has endured inclement weather on the mound, but the elements didn't prevent the sophomore southpaw from Pikeville from earning his earned his first win of the season as ECU defeated College of Charleston, 4-2.

The teams play again at 1 p.m. today, although ECU (4-1) is assured of taking the 3-game series by virtue of Saturday's win couple with one on Friday. The Cougars won two of three last season in Charleston.

Sasser went five innings in his second start of the season, giving up two runs, one earned, on eight hits while walking two and striking out three. Carter Harrell came on and pitched three crucial scoreless innings, holding the lead for Sasser, allowing just one hit while striking out three. Closer Kevin Rhodes then came on in the ninth to close the door for his first save of the season.

Lead-off man Dale Mollenhauer was the lone Pirate with multiple hits, going 2-for-5 with a run scored. Stephen Batts picked up two RBI while Jake Smith, who finished 1-for-4, had one RBI.

Each team committed four errors as both teams struggled with the adverse conditions.

The Pirates started the scoring early, plating a run in the first on a Smith sacrifice fly.
