East Carolina used six longballs to propel themselves to a 13-9 victory over NC State on Tuesday night in Greenville. Jacob Jenkins-Cowart accounted for three of those home runs, driving in five runs.
The win moves ECU to 21-8 on the year, including 3-1 against ACC teams (two wins over UNC, one loss to Duke). The Wolfpack fall to 20-9.
The Pirates got out to an early lead on a 1st inning Josh Moylan solo home run. The game moved pretty quietly from there until NC State was finally able to answer in the 3rd inning via a Gino Groover sacrifice fly to score Carter Trice, who led off the inning with a single.
