The Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team dropped three straight games this weekend. The East Carolina University (ECU) Pirates took it to the Bearcats on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, for good measure.
All three games were competitive.
On Friday, Cincinnati jumped out to a 4-1 lead before bullpen woes sunk the Bearcats, 9-7. Junior superstar centerfielder Griffin Merritt led the way for Cincinnati with three hits, including a solo homerun.
On Saturday, Cincinnati again blew a late inning lead, falling 4-3 to the feisty Pirates. Sophomore outfielder Cole Harting slapped an RBI double for the Bearcats in defeat.
