NORFOLK, Va. -- Will Morgan had two home runs and Andy Garriola hit a grand slam, but it was not enough for Old Dominion against No. 12 East Carolina on Wednesday evening at the Bud Metheny Complex, as the Monarchs fell, 10-7.

East Carolina (31-10), ranked 12th in this week's D1Baseball Top 25, built a 10-2 lead entering the ninth inning, but Old Dominion (24-16) mounted a late rally.

Garriola's grand slam with one out in the ninth made it a four-run game and then Morgan, who went 3-for-5, connected for his second solo shot of the evening to pull the Monarchs within three, but the rally ended there.
