When the Charlottesville Regional pairings were announced baseball fans had the matchup between Virginia and East Carolina circled as one to watch and the game did not disappoint. After shutting down the Pirates in last year’s Greenville Regional pitching for Coastal Carolina, Nick Parker was looking to do the same this year. He was was terrific on the day going seven strong, giving up one run on five hits, one walk and five strikeouts to pick up the win. There weren’t many fireworks from the offense, but the Hoos came up big hits when they needed to move to 2-0 in the regional and in prime position.
