It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Houston and East Carolina are meeting for the 2017 American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship Sunday.
The teams are hardly strangers to the postseason. They were picked as the top two teams in The American’s preseason coaches’ poll. And in fact, the 2015 final in The American Championship was between these very teams. East Carolina was the better team that day as the Pirates broke open what had been a 1-1 game with a five-run fifth inning on their way to a 9-1 win.
