Pirates win potential postseason preview

For the second game in a row, the East Carolina University baseball team used a late rally to come from behind and win a critical game down the stretch of the season, as an unlikely hero helped it defeat Campbell University 12-7 on Tuesday night at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

On the same day D1Baseball.com released its postseason projections and had ECU hosting Campbell in the Regional opening game, Pirate fans were treated to a preview of the potential postseason matchup as the two teams met. ECU improved to 38-13, while Campbell dropped to 29-22. ECU also kept its position as a potential regional host team, but head coach Cliff Godwin said he is more focused on the team goal of playing its best baseball.
