East Carolina 6, Cincinnati 5 (10 Innings) - Box Score
CINCINNATI, Ohio – Behind a spectacular relief performance out of sophomore RHP Wyatt Lunsford-Shenkman, No. 14 East Carolina polished off an American Athletic Conference road series sweep of Cincinnati 6-5 in 10 innings Sunday at the UC Baseball Stadium.
 
The Pirates (34-14, 12-6 American) pulled within a half game of Houston for first place in the league standings as the Cougars' series finale with Wichita State was cancelled due to inclement weather. The Bearcats fell to 20-27 and 8-10 with the loss.
 
Shenkman (3-2) was perfect in five frames of work, retiring all 15 batters he faced and using just 40 pitches to seal the win. He added three strikeouts for good measure. Griffin Hugus was tagged with the loss, surrendering the winning run in the 10th inning and allowing three hits with no walks or strikeouts in the process.
 
Jacob Starling paced the ECU offensive attack with a 2-for-5 performance that included two runs scored and an RBI. Jacob Jenkins-Cowart and Luke Nowak also chipped in with two RBI apiece. Josh Hegemann notched two hits while Cole Harting registered three RBI for the home side.
 
The Pirates were able to knot the score in the top of the eighth. Moylan drew a leadoff walk before pinch runner Ryley Johnson advanced to second on a wild pitch and moved to third on a fly ball to center. Nowak then fell behind 1-2 but kept fouling pitches off before putting one in play that was deep enough on the infield to plate Johnson for the tying tally.
 
With Lunsford-Shenkman carving up the Cincinnati order in the late innings, ECU broke through for the winning run in the 10th. Johnson shot a one-out double down the line and to the wall in right field and Jenkins-Cowart beat the shift through the left side for an RBI single. The Pirates had two runners on with two outs following a Justin Wilcoxen single to center, but a fly ball to right terminated the frame.
 
Lunsford-Shenkman required just four pitches to complete the job in the bottom of the 10th, coaxing two flyouts and a groundout out of the Bearcat side.

Memphis 8, South Florida 6 - Box Score
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis baseball team won its fifth-straight game and completed the series sweep of South Florida on Sunday afternoon, defeating the Bulls 8-6 with a 13-hit offensive output at FedExPark Avron Fogelman Field. The sweep marked the first for the Tigers in a conference series since May 4-5, 2013, when the Tigers were members of Conference USA.
 
With the victory, the Tigers improved to 26-22 (8-10 American) on the season and tied the longest winning streak of the season with five-straight wins. The Bulls slipped to 18-31 (6-12) on the year with the loss.
 
Logan Kohler gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when he hit his second home run in as many days over the right-field wall to drive in Austin Baskin.

Catcher Brennan DuBose jacked a solo shot into the visitor's bullpen in left field in the bottom of the second to extend the Memphis lead to 3-1.

Baskin singled back up the middle in the bottom of the fifth for his third hit of the game, driving in Jake Curtis. Baskin would come around to score on an RBI ground out by Will Spears that made the score 6-1.

Baskin made it a 4-for-4 game at the plate when he crushed a no-doubt solo home run over the left-field wall to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning.
