HOUSTON —
Rice scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning after East
Carolina had come back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the score and the host
Owls took a 7-2 win in the second game of a nonconference series
Saturday afternoon. Rice (7-7) bounced back from
a
10-1 loss to the No. 16 Pirates (11-4) in the
series opener on Friday night.
The deciding contest in
the three-game set starts at 1:30 p.m. (EDT) today.
Designated hitter Andrew
Dunlap led the Owls at the plate as he went 2-for-4 with a double
and three RBIs.
Dominic DiCaprio and
Ford Proctor each had two hits and an RBI for Rice.
Travis Watkins had a
solo homer to left center for ECU in the fourth inning to draw the
Pirates within 2-1 after the Owls had scored lone runs in the first
and second off ECU left-hander Jacob Wolfe.
The Pirates starter went
four and two-thirds innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs
with one walk and one strikeout.
Wolfe was not involved
in the decision after ECU tied the score at 2 with a run in the
sixth.
Parker Lamm led off the
tying frame with a single up the middle. A sacrifice bunt by Charlie
Yorgen moved Lamm to second before Watkins drew a walk. A double
steal put both runners in scoring position before a ground ball to
first by Kirk Morgan brought Lamm home.
Lamm finished with two
of the Pirates' four hits. Nine players accounted for Rice's 12
hits.
DiCaprio, Proctor,
Dunlap and Connor Tekyl had hits in Rice's four-run sixth.
Glenn Otto (2-1) pitched
three and one-third innings in relief of starter Blake Fox to get
the win for the Owls. Otto allowed one hit, no runs and struck out
four without a walk.
Freshman Sam Lanier
(0-1) took the loss for the Pirates. Lanier yielded two hits and two
runs in two-thirds of an inning.
Evan Voliva, Chris Holba
and Denny Brady also saw mound duty for ECU. Brady held the Owls
scoreless over the final inning and one-third.
