Tangle with Titans headlines ECU baseball slate

East Carolina's quest for an eighth straight NCAA Baseball Tournament berth will begin with 14 consecutive games in the friendly confines of Clark-LeClair Stadium.

The Diamond Pirates, under first-year head coach Billy Godwin, will open their season the weekend of Feb. 10 when Maryland visits for a three-game set.

In the midst of the long home stand, East Carolina will host the annual Keith LeClair Classic Feb. 24-26. The Pirates will face Penn State, UNC-Wilmington and Virginia Tech on success days in the six-team event, which also features N.C. State and West Virginia.

The LeClair Classic is named after ECU Hall of Famer and former Pirate baseball coach Keith LeClair, who initiated the program's current string of seven straight postseason appearances in 1999. LeClair stepped down after the 2002 season after being stricken with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

ECU, which will play 35 home games overall, won't play a road game until well into March, when it ventures out West to challenge four-time College World Series champion Cal State-Fullerton in a three-game series Mar. 10-12 at 3,500-seat Goodwin Field.

The Titans, coached by George Horton, finished ranked No. 9 last season after having captured the CWS crown in 2004. They are expected to reciprocate ECU's visit with a return trip to Greenville in 2007.

The Pirates will also host a Conference USA series with a team familiar with Omaha. Tulane, which advanced to the College World Series in 2005, visits Clark-LeClair Stadium Apr. 28-30.

ECU's first Conference USA series of the season is set for Mar. 24-26 at Rice. The Pirates' first home set with a league opponent is Mar. 31-April 2, when Houston pays a visit.
