Pirates reward big crowd with
big win |

 GREENVILLE
— The
last time East Carolina hosted a
regional rival from the ACC, the
game didn't go nearly as well as
the Pirates' 15-3 win over N.C.
State on Tuesday night. On
March 15 when North Carolina
played at Clark-LeClair Stadium,
ECU absorbed a 17-4 loss before
a crowd of 5,213.

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. ...

HIGH POINT — East Carolina
lost 5-1 at High Point on Wednesday night following
a 15-3 home win over N.C. State
the preceding night.
The Pirates sought to
avoid a letdown and took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but the
offensive production subsequently faltered as ECU fell to 24-13.
Parker Lamm singled to
start the game and moved to second on a wild pitch. A bunt by Kirk
Morgan moved Lamm to third and he scored as Eric Tyler reached base
on an error by the Panthers shortstop.
The Pirates left two on
base in the opening frame as a pair of fly outs got High Point's
Michael Hennessey (3-2) out of trouble.
ECU stranded 10 for the
game.
Hennessey allowed four
hits over seven innings with three walks and five strikeouts. He
threw 124 pitches.
Luke Parker went 3-for-4
with an RBI and a run scored in the win as the Panthers (25-13)
outhit the Pirates, 13-5.
Davis Kirkpatrick (0-2)
started and went three and two-thirds innings for ECU. He allowed
six hits, three runs (all earned) without a walk or a strikeout.
Carson Jackson doubled
for High Point in the second, went to third on a wild pitch and
scored the tying run on a ground out by Nick Capra.
Parker doubled to left
in the third inning and Spencer Brown's sacrifice bunt moved him to
third. Parker scored the go-ahead run on Hunter Lee's single to
center.
Parker's RBI triple in
the fourth provided a 3-1 lead. The Panthers added a pair of
unearned runs in the fifth.
Zack Mozingo finished
2-for-4 for the Pirates.
Joe Goodman pitched the
last inning and one-third for the Panthers to get his fourth save.
