Memphis took the lead with a run in the second inning and scored multiple runs in three of the next five frames to earn a road series win.
  
After failing to score with the bases in the first inning, Memphis got back-to-back two-out hits from Braden Webb and Blake Daniels, as Daniels' single made it 1-0 Memphis. The Tigers loaded the bases with one out in the second with already one run home in the inning, and Daniels cleared them with a three-run double that put Memphis in front 5-0.

East Carolina 6, South Florida 2 - Box Score
GREENVILLE, N.C. – No. 25 East Carolina earned their fourth weekend sweep in American Athletic Conference play Sunday afternoon defeating South Florida 6-2 at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. With the win, the Pirates extended their winning streak to 10 games and improved to 34-18 overall and 17-4 in league play, while the Bulls dropped to 26-25 and 6-15.
 
With the game tied at two-all going to the bottom of the sixth, the Pirates regained the lead at 3-2 before adding three runs in the eighth inning. Ben Newton led off with a double to right center and scored when Jacob Starling dropped down a sac bunt to the pitcher who under threw the first baseman allowing him to move to second and Newton to dart home for the would-be game-winning run.
 
Zach Agnos (2-0) earned the win in relief allowing a run (earned) on one hit with a strikeout in two-thirds of an inning. Ben Terwilliger notched his second save tossing three scoreless frames out of the bullpen where he allowed one hit with one walk and fanned two.
 
Starter Jake Hunter was sensational on the day tossing a career-best 5.1 innings where he allowed a run (earned) on one hit with a personal-best seven strikeouts. The right-hander was perfect through his 5.1 frames retiring 16 in a row before hitting Joaquin Monque. The next Bulls batter, Jackson May, singled through the left side putting runners on first and third with one away before being lifted for Agnos in the sixth.
 
Nolan Hudi (3-2) suffered the loss giving up one run (unearned) on two hits with a punch out in 2.2 innings. Starter Tanner Mink allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits with a pair of walks and four strikeouts in 3.1 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. The Bulls also got outings from Joey Volini (1.2 IP, 2 Hs, 3 Rs, 1 K) and Austin Grause (0.1 IP).

HOUSTON, Tx. – David Litchfield retired 10-straight Cougars down the stretch in his 4.1 innings of work to help UCF (30-21, 13-8) fend off Houston (34-18, 13-8), 3-1 on Sunday and take the series. The win gives the Knights 30 wins on the season, marking the fifth full season that Greg Lovelady's squad has accomplished that feat.
 
The Knights opened the scoring in the second, as Ben McCabe hit his eighth home run of the season, a two-run blast to left center field to give the Knights a 2-0 lead. Houston responded in the bottom of the second to cut the deficit to 2-1.
 
In the fourth, Michael Brooks hit a solo home run to left field, his sixth of the season, to extend the Knights lead to 3-1. UCF pitching made a statement on Sunday, holding the strongest offense in the American to a .100 (1-10) batting average with runners in scoring position. 
 
Cameron Crain started the game for the Knights, working 3.2 innings and allowing five hits and one run. David Litchfield (3-2) earned the victory out of the bullpen, working 4.1 innings allowing one hit and retiring 10 straight Cougars. Kyle Kramer picked up his sixth save of the season, using 12 pitches in the final frame to dispose the middle of the Cougars lineup.

Wichita State 4, Tulane 3 - Box Score
WICHITA, Kan. – Connor Holden allowed just one hit over four innings of relief to secure his sixth save, and Wichita State completed their first-ever sweep of Tulane with a 4-3 win on Sunday afternoon at Eck Stadium.

Holden entered in the sixth with a 4-2 advantage. He allowed a solo home run to Jackson Linn on his fifth pitch that cut the lead to 4-3, but then retired the final 11 hitters he faced with four strikeouts along the way. The four innings matched the longest relief appearance of the season for Holden, who improved his season strikeout-to-walk ratio to 36:1.

Wichita State (19-32) did all their damage in the first two innings, chasing Tulane starter Chandler Welch (4-3) after just five outs were recorded. Jordan Rogers got the scoring started in the bottom of the first with a sacrifice fly, which Brock Rodden duplicated in the second to double the lead to 2-0. One batter later, Rogers lashed a two-out, two-run single to right that plated Xavier Casserilla and Seth Stroh for a 4-0 advantage.

The Green Wave (30-22-1) answered back in the top of the third via a two-run homer of the bat of Trevor Minder, but Wichita State starter Payton Tolle (4-6) righted the ship with a scoreless fourth and fifth to qualify for the win. Stroh kept the lead intact with an impressive running catch deep in right center field to end the fifth, denying Tulane's Bennett Lee of a potential game-tying extra-base hit.

Tulane reliever Michael Massey kept the Green Wave within striking distance, tossing 5.1 innings of shutout ball with five strikeouts. Wichita State got just one runner to second base from the second inning on, getting two runners aboard in the eighth before Tyler Hoffman was able to induce an inning-ending double play.

Holden set the side down in order in the ninth on two fly outs and a ground out, clinching Wichita State's second sweep of American conference foe.
