 GREENVILLE
— Whether it was the product
that new football coach Scottie
Montgomery and staff are
developing on the field or the
recently-formulated plans to
renovate the south side of
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, which
were unveiled Saturday on the
big scoreboard screen at
halftime of the Purple-Gold
game, it's obvious that East
Carolina has launched into a
significant building mode. ...

MEMPHIS — East Carolina was
unable to complete an American Athletic Conference sweep on Sunday at
Memphis as the Tigers scored the deciding run in a 6-5 win on a full
count pitch with two out in the bottom of the ninth.
Zach Schritenthal
singled up the middle off Evan Voliva (0-2) to score Cody Duncan and
end the game.
ECU (23-12, 5-4 AAC) had
scored twice in the top of the ninth to tie the score at 5.
Duncan came in to run
for Andy Bowman after the pinch hitter drew a walk to start the
Memphis half of the ninth. A sacrifice bunt by Damo DeMatteo allowed
Duncan to take second.
Jake Overbey was hit by
a pitch before Duncan moved to third on a fly to left by Colton
Neel.
Schritenthal was due,
having gone 0-for-4 with several on base before connecting for a
walkoff.
The Tigers (13-23, 4-5)
scored three runs in the fifth inning as the Pirates committed three
of their four errors in that frame. Two runs came home on wild
pitches.
ECU loaded the bases in
the sixth on a single by Travis Watkins followed by walks to Turner
Brown and Kirk Morgan. Charlie Yorgen had a two-run single through
the right side and the Pirates tied the score on an RBI double by
Parker Lamm.
Jake Little had an RBI
triple in the bottom of the sixth and Jacob Elliott had a
run-scoring double as Memphis went ahead, 5-3.
Zack Mozingo led off the
ninth for ECU with a ground rule double to right center and Eric
Tyler followed with a single up the middle. Brady Lloyd came in to
run for Tyler. Bryce Harman reached on a fielder's choice but the
Tigers failed to get an out on the play as the shortstop committed
an error. Mozingo scored and Harman was credited with an RBI.
Lloyd came home on a
single by Brooks for the tying run.
Jacob Wolfe started and
went four and one-third innings for the Pirates. The junior
left-hander allowed six hits, two runs (one earned) with two walks
and four strikeouts. Wolfe threw two of ECU's three wild pitches.
Sam Lanier came in to finish the fifth. He allowed one run on a wild
pitch.
Joe Ingle pitched one
and one-third, yielding two hits and two earned runs while walking
two. Ingle struck out one and hit a batter.
Chris Holba finished up
the seventh, getting two outs while allowing one hit and striking
out one during a scoreless appearance.
Voliva yielded one hit,
one earned run and walked two while whiffing one over an inning and
two-thirds.
Each team had 10 hits.
Lamm, Mozingo, Brooks and Yorgen had two apiece for the Pirates.
Mozingo had a pair of doubles. Tyler and Watkins also had hits.
Brandon Grudzielanek was
3-for-5 for Memphis and Overbey went 2-for-3.
Nolan Blackwood (1-2)
pitched the last three innings to get the win for Memphis. He
allowed four hits, two runs (one earned) and did not allow a walk
while striking out four.
N.C. State visits the
Pirates on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
