90 feet from Omaha….90 feet from the dream being realized….East Carolina’s baseball team won the first super regional game in school history and almost won the second to send it to the College World Series, but missed opportunities sent the Pirates home with a big moral victory.
The Pirates took a good whooping to Texas Tech on Sunday. On Saturday, the Pirates had their chances but missed opportunities cost them in the end. But not many ECU baseball fans will ever forget Friday’s victory as it was the first super regional victory in the program’s history.
“There are not enough words to describe what this team has accomplished this year,” said head coach Cliff Godwin in a statement that he posted on Twitter Sunday.
