the Pirates.

21-21 overall and 9-4 in the AAC. ECU slipped to 26-16 on the season

infield hit and Dwanya Williams-Sutton singled to left field in the
final frame. The runners each advanced a base on a ground out to
first by Zack Mozingo.

swinging before Parker Lamm grounded out to third to end the game.

people."
