GREENVILLE — Houston took a
6-1 win at East Carolina on Sunday to keep East Carolina from sweeping a
three-game American Athletic Conference series.
The Cougars (17-10, 1-2
AAC) scored three runs in the top of the second in support of
winning pitcher Mitch Ullom (4-1), who went seven and one-third
innings.
Ullom yielded a run in
the third as Kirk Morgan singled, moved to second on a ground out by
Turner Brown and came home on a hit to left by Parker Lamm.
The Pirates had seven
hits off Ullom, who walked one and struck out four. Bubba Maxwell
did not allow a hit over the last inning and two-thirds while
walking one and striking out one.
Jacob Wolfe (3-3) went
four and one-third innings for ECU (19-9, 2-1). He allowed seven
hits and all of Houston's runs, three of which were earned. The
hosts committed four errors. Wolfe walked two and had one strikeout.
Sam Lanier, Nick Durazo,
