Good morning! We’re thinking maybe we’ll go with a #46 Trey Yesavage t-shirt. No, a #7 Taylor Edwards hoodie. Or, maybe #3 Jacob Jenkins-Cowart? We can’t decide. Maybe we’ll just buy them all!

What all are we mixing into today's Brew?

⚾️ On the road again
🥎 Last stand
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Looking For Gold. East Carolina baseball ventures out onto the road for the first time in over two weeks tonight at Charlotte.

The Pirates swept their recent eight-game home stand and carry that momentum into tonight’s matchup with the 49ers, who are 19-16.

🔼 Women’s Golf Recap. ECU women’s golf held steady in sixth place at day two of the AAC Championships.

At 1-under on the day, the Pirates were one of two schools (UCF, 4-under) to shoot under par Tuesday. Oda Sofie Kilsti again led the group, shooting a 2-under 70. Macie Burcham carded a 1-under 71, and Danielle Modder shot even-par 72 on the day.

🔼 Last Stand. East Carolina softball rounds out its four-game home stand as it welcomes in NC Central this evening for a midweek contest.

NC Central got off to a rough start this season, but has steadied the ship in conference play - The Eagles are 13-25 overall, but 11-2 in MEAC action.

Wednesday is the last chance to see the Pirates at home before they head out on the road for six games - admission to tonight’s game against NC Central is free to the public.

🔼 Disney Dreamin’. East Carolina women’s tennis is in Orlando to compete at the AAC Championships today, drawing No. 7-seeded Houston in the first round.

ECU, the 10 seed, finished 9-9 in conference action and did not play against Houston in the regular season. The winner of the matchup will move on to play No. 2 seed UCF, which had been seeded No. 1 in each of the last four American Championships before this season.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Dominance On The Mound. The East Carolina starting pitching staff is really good, to put it lightly.

Check out these ERAs - Josh Grosz holds a 2.40 ERA, Trey Yesavage is at 2.83, and Carter Spivey’s is 3.05.

Where do those ERAs rank among their peers in the AAC?
