Coming in with high expectations, the marquee matchup in the Greenville Regional certainly delivered. Bolstered by a raucous crowd, East Carolina came up with big hits when they had to and their pitchers were able to bend but not break on their way to a 4-2 win over the Virginia Cavaliers. The story of the game is home runs and big-time outs. Unfortunately for the Hoos, East Carolina came up with a few more of each staying undefeated in the four-team regional.
ECU struck first in the bottom of the second. Reminiscent of Friday night, defensive miscues proved costly as Jacob Jenkins-Cowart reached on a throwing error by Griff O’Ferrall.
