In front of 4,971 fans, No. 25 ECU was overpowered by the UNC pitching staff, especially Rodney Hutchinson Jr. Entering the game in the fourth inning, the sophomore gave up no runs and only allowed two hits and two walks in his 4 2/3 innings of work.
“As good as our offensive numbers are we need to be better against better pitching,” Godwin said. “No offense to Elon but the arms that went at us aren’t the arms North Carolina threw at us.”
Even though the ECU hitters didn’t provide the run support, the pitching staff did just about everything it could but was burned by one throwing error.
