WSU upsets No. 1 seed East Carolina in first round of AAC Tournament

Wichita State senior Clayton McGinness pitches during the game against ECU on May 11, 2019 at Eck Stadium.

For the second time in two weeks, the Shockers have upset the conference champions, No. 1 seed and No. 8-ranked East Carolina. WSU defeated the Pirates 6-2 in the opening round game.

Senior Clayton McGinness once again pitched a gem against the extremely potent offense that the Pirates possess. McGinness pitched 6 u2153 innings while only allowing one run just as he did in the earlier victory.

The Shockers offense struggled to get a run across early but the offense exploded in the ninth inning.
