East Carolina 7, Memphis 1 - Box Score
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Ninth-ranked East Carolina scored six runs in the eighth inning breaking a one-all tie to complete a four-game weekend series sweep of Memphis, 7-1, Sunday afternoon in American Athletic Conference play at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. With the victory the Pirates extended their home winning streak to 18 games and improved to 26-5 overall and 8-0 in league play, while the Tigers fell to 11-19 on the season and 1-7.
 
With the game knotted at one-all going to the bottom of the eighth, the Pirates put up a crooked number to regain the lead and cruised to its eighth-straight AAC win. Connor Norby collected the second of his two hits to start the frame and then moved to second on Thomas Francisco's second base knock of the day, a shot to left field. After Seth Caddell dropped a sac bunt back to the Memphis pitcher (Walker Brockhouse) moving both runners into scoring position, Josh Moylan singled to right field scoring the two sophomores for a 3-1 ECU lead.
 
Lane Hoover kept the inning going with a walk that moved pinch runner Matt Bridges to second and Bryson Worrell's sixth hit of the series, a single to right field, scored Bridges from second base. Hoover and Worrell would score on a wild pitches when Hunter Goodman tried to complete the strikeout of Zach Agnos and Ryley Johnson's second home run of the season, a solo shot to right field, capped the scoring at 7-1.
 
Cam Colmore (4-0) earned the win allowing one hit and striking out four in 2.1 innings of relief. Starter Tyler Smith worked a season-high 5.2 innings where he surrendered one run (earned) on seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts. Ryder Giles retired all three batters he faced in the ninth inning with one strikeout.

UCF (14-18, 4-4 AAC) got one back in the sixth but Paul Komistek's two-run homer to right scored Eric Santiago and chased Knights starter Jack Sinclair from the game. Merritt followed with a single, Deondre Bremner doubled to right field and Powell walked to load the bases. Jake Murray was next up and drew a 3-2 walk to score Merritt and UCF went to the bullpen again.
