UConn's pitchers recorded 13 strikeouts as the Huskies take a road win before their weekend series at East Carolina.
After losing to UMass Tuesday, the 280th team out of 300 in RPI, UConn needed a win in the worst way before heading south to play the East Carolina Pirates, ranked 20th in the D1Baseball.com poll.
UConn got its 20th win of the season, improving the record to 20-16. This is the Huskies' 20th consecutive season with at least 20 wins, a streak dating back to the 1996 season.
Jack Riley made his first career start and, despite light offensive support, held down the fort.
