Tigers stun East Carolina, run-rule Pirates 11-1

CLEARWATER, Fla. – In one of the biggest shockers in recent AAC Championship memory, the Memphis Tigers used four home runs and run-ruled the No. 1 seed East Carolina Pirates 11-1 in seven innings. East Carolina entered the conference tournament as the No. 9 team in the country and swept the Tigers in a four-game series in April by a combined score of 32-13. The victory was Memphis' first over a ranked team since the Tigers beat then No. 6 ECU 10-9, May 18, 2019. With the win, the Tigers advance in the winner's bracket and will face No.
