ECU Wins Series in Part Due to a Controversial Call at Home Plate

Baseball is a game of inches. Some days, it can be a heartbreaking one. A controversial out call on what would have been the game-winning run by Vinny Siena sent the game to extra innings, where East Carolina scored a run in the tenth to clinch their weekend series victory.

UConn (25-15, 6-6 AAC) fell to a fourth place in the conference (two games behind of first-place USF) with the Pirates (24-16. 6-6 AAC).

Game one

The series started off on the wrong foot for the Huskies with starting pitcher Carson Cross (7-2) giving up five consecutive two-out hits, coupled with an error, as part of a four run first inning that saw the ace throw 35 pitches.
