Baseball Preview: #7 East Carolina

WILMINGTON, N.C. – In a series that dates back to 1965, UNCW and East Carolina will meet up for the 140th time on Wednesday at Brooks Field.

The Seahawks and Pirates have both gotten off to strong starts at 10-3 and 13-2, respectively, and the Pirates have climbed as high as seventh in the national polls.

UNCW earned its third series win of the young season behind three stellar efforts on the mound. The Seahawks allowed Appalachian State just three runs over the course of the three-game sweep and silenced the Mountaineer bats to a .181 average and just two extra base hits.

ECU, meanwhile, swept cross-state foe Charlotte. The Pirates have won their last seven outings, which also includes a three-game sweep of Appalachian State.

Last season, the Seahawks tripped the Pirates, 5-2, in what would be the final game of the season for both programs as the NCAA canceled the season due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Tied at 2-all in the bottom of the ninth, Matt Suggs launched a three-run homer to lift the Seahawks past the Pirates.

Game time for Wednesday's game is 6 p.m. and can be seen via FloSports.tv, a subscription-based streaming outlet.
