MEMPHIS — Parker Lamm had
six RBIs and Evan Kruczynski pitched eight solid innings as East
Carolina topped Memphis 8-1 in the opener of a three-game American
Athletic Conference series on Friday night.
The Tigers (12-22, 3-4
AAC) nicked Kruczynski (5-0) for a run in the second on an RBI
single by Corey Chafin but the junior left-hander regrouped to
scatter seven hits and fan six without a walk.
Freshman Denny Brady
walked two in the ninth before settling in and striking out the next
three.
ECU (22-11, 4-3) tied
the score in the third as Garrett Brooks led off with a single and
later came home on a sacrifice fly by Lamm.
Brooks doubled to left
in the fifth and scored the go-ahead run on a single by Charlie
Yorgen.
Turner Brown and Brooks
both scored on a sacrifice bunt by Lamm as the Pirates pushed the
lead to 4-1 in the seventh.
Brooks had an RBI single
that scored Bryce Harman in ECU's four-run eighth. Lamm subsequently
had a base-loaded triple for the final margin.
Brooks went 3-for-5 with
a double and an RBI.
Eric Tyler and Travis
Watkins each had two singles as the Pirates outhit their hosts,
14-7.
Jake Little went 3-for-4
for the Tigers.
ECU was errorless on
defense.
Game two of the series
is scheduled for 3 p.m. today.
Chalk up another series win for East Carolina as the Pirates took two
out of three from American Athletic Conference preseason favorite
Houston. In a battle of nationally-ranked teams the Pirates took the
first two games of the series before falling on Sunday.
