SURPRISE!!!!
East Carolina Upsets Tulane, 4-2
By Mark Anderson
The East Carolina Pirates came to Reckling this morning and stole the forst game from the Tulane Green Wave by a score of 4-2.
Brody Taylor outdueled Sean Morgan to give the Pirates the pitching they needed to surprise the Green Wave. Through 7 1/3 innings, Brody kept the Wave off-balance, hitting his spots, used his fielders to make the plays. Unfortunately for Taylor, he appeared to hurt his elbow in the eighth and was immediately removed. Taylor’s condition is unknown at this writing.
Te key to the Pirates win was the fifth inning. With the game tied at 1-1, Jakob Dean stepped top the plate and singled t oventer. A sacrifice bunt moved Dean to second, and Eldridge singled through the right side to scored Dean. After Eldridge stole second, aand after a strikeout, Jake Smith, the C-USA first team catcher, stepped up and hit a booming home run to left center field to plate both runs.
Athough Tulane added a run in the fifth to answer, they could never mount anything past that. After Taylor went down, Shane Matthews came in and shut the door on the Green Wave. East Carolina moves into the winner’s bracket, while Tulane faces elimination tomorrow.
