Outstanding opener for ECU
East Carolina scored four runs in the final two innings on Friday to beat Virginia 8-5 in Charlottesville, Va. (Joe Pellegrino/The Daily Reflector)East Carolina started strong, and closed even better Friday night at No. 4 Virginia, scoring once in the top of the ninth inning and three times in the 10th for an 8-5 victory in the first game of a big early-season baseball series against the defending national champion Cavaliers.
The win, keyed by Charlie Yorgen’s sacrifice fly in the ninth and freshman Brady Lloyd’s go-ahead double the following inning, broke a nine-game losing streak for the Pirates (5-0) against Virginia.
