GREENVILLE —
East Carolina claimed its fourth straight Keith LeClair Classic
championship with a 4-3 win over Maryland on Sunday.
The Pirates and
Terps each finished 2-1 in the 13th annual event with ECU
claiming the title by virtue of Sunday's head-to-head result.
Southeastern
Louisiana enabled the winning scenario by nipping Tennessee 5-4
earlier Sunday. The Lions and Vols each went 1-2 for the
weekend.
The Pirates scored
the winning run in the eighth after Eric Tyler singled and Wes
Phillips bunted to move Tyler to second.
Dwanya
Williams-Sutton doubled down the right field line for a 4-3 ECU
lead.
Joe Ingle (2-1)
pitched the final three and two-thirds innings with a
career-high nine strikeouts to get the win.
Maryland (5-5) took
a 2-0 lead in the top of the fifth. Kevin Smith's solo home run
with two out put the Terps ahead 1-0. Madison Nickens walked and
went to second on a wild pitch before scoring on a single by
Nick Dunn.
That completed Jimmy
Boyd's day on the mound. Boyd allowed four hits over four and
two-thirds innings, yielding two earned runs while walking two
and striking out four.
Nick Durazo recorded
an inning-ending strikeout to strand two Terps.
The Pirates (8-3)
tied the score at 2 in the sixth as a double by Travis Watkins
was followed by Tyler's homer to left. Maryland pulled starter
Brian Shaffer after the blast by Tyler, his first round tripper
of the year.
Turner Brown and
Parker Lamm had hits in the seventh before Brown came in for a
3-2 ECU lead on a throwing error by the Terps on an attempted
double play.
Mickens reached base
in the eighth on a wild pitch third strike. Dunn's RBI double
tied the score at 3.
Charlie Yorgen had
two hits with a double as the Pirates held a 10-9 edge in hits.
Ryan Selmer (1-1)
took the loss for Maryland. Dunn had two hits and two RBIs for
the Terps.
The Pirates host
George Mason (2-8) on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
Fisher's homer lifts Lions over Tennessee

over Tennessee (7-3) in Sunday's first game at Clark-LeClair
Stadium. The Lions had seen a 4-0 lead after two innings
dissolve as the Volunteers scored three times in the fourth and
once in the sixth. Kade Granier (1-0) worked the last three and
