Cliff Godwin remembers the first time East Carolina advanced to an NCAA super regional.
A senior co-captain for the Pirates in 2001, the current head coach at his alma mater vividly recalls his final at-bat as a Pirate.
“People ask me if I remember the super regional in 2001,” Godwin said. “Yeah, I made the last out, so I remember that 1-0 changeup that I popped straight up. I see it every single day because I was the tying run at the plate.”
Godwin went on to admit that it would be “awesome” to take East Carolina to the College World Series for the first time but he knows that will be an uphill task with national No.
