GREENVILLE, N.C. – An early deficit was too much to overcome as Memphis baseball dropped its series opener by a final of 19-10 at No. 6 ECU Thursday night at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Early offense helped the host Pirates to a 17-0 advantage through five innings. Despite falling behind quickly, Memphis built momentum by plating 10 unanswered runs in the latter stages of the contest before ECU plated two more to set the final.
The Tigers couldn't capitalize on opportunities offensively in the first few frames, as Memphis left nine runners on base and six in scoring position through six innings.
