A walk-off suicide squeeze bunt gave East Carolina University its second consecutive win at the American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship Thursday night, as the Pirates defeated the University of South Florida 6-5.
As the No. 8 seed, Pirates’ (31-27, 9-17 AAC) second victory in the AAC tournament sends them to the semifinals, while the No. 4 seed Bulls (41-16, 15-11 AAC) will next face off against the University of Central Florida in an elimination game.
ECU’s ninth inning rally began with an infield single from Andrew Henrickson, who was then brought home by a Charlie Yorgen double.
