ECU puts the AAC on notice in series win vs UCF

The No. 16 ranked East Carolina University’s baseball team went to Orlando, Florida, this weekend and put the entire American Athletic Conference on notice with its 2-1 series win over the previously ranked University of Central Florida.

“This was a great series win for us going on the road and playing a really good team,” head coach Cliff Godwin said.

Entering the series, ECU (18-5, 2-1 AAC) looked like a team on a mission through its first 20 games, going 16-4 behind superb performances from the offense, defense and pitching. Godwin has engraved his pitch-by-pitch mindset in the heads of his players, and it’s been the key to their success all season.
