East Carolina showed why it was the American Athletic Conference’s top seed on Sunday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida, winning its 18th straight to win the conference tournament title 6-1 over UH baseball, ending the Cougars’ season.
ECU freshman standout Jacob Jenkins-Cowart provided the first punch with a three-run opposite field homer off of UH junior right-hander Logan Clayton in the first inning. This was the third straight game in the conference tournament that Jenkins-Cowart went deep.
Jenkins-Cowart picked up his fourth RBI of the afternoon in the third inning on a single up the middle.
