Good morning! Bat flipping a walk?
What all are we mixing into today's Brew?
⚾️ Keep winning
🏈 Mic’d up
🏴☠️ And much, much more!
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Central Time. With South Florida taking down UCF 15-4 on Thursday at the AAC Tournament, East Carolina will take on the Knights today at 1:00pm ET.
It is another elimination game for the Pirates, as they all will be from here on out in Clearwater.
UCF beat Cincinnati in its opening game of the tournament, 4-3, before its loss to in-state rival South Florida. The Pirates swept the Knights in early April, scoring 41 runs over the three-game series.
🔼 Follow The Pirates. The ECU Sports Network is all over it with coverage of the East Carolina baseball team at the American Athletic Conference Tournament, brought to you by Pizza Hut.
🔼 On Your Left. The Pirate women took their turn at the NCAA Track and Field East Preliminary meet on Thursday.
Melicia Mouzzon qualified for the quarterfinals of the 100m dash with a time of 11.26, 16th-fastest during qualifying. Mouzzon will run the event again on Saturday with hopes of qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
Naadiya Faison (shot put), Jasmine Jenkins (hammer) and Ansley Frady (javelin) also competed Thursday, but did not advance in their respective events.
🔼 Mic’d Up. Tight ends and inside receivers coach Aaron Auer fires us up when he’s on the mic! Take a peek inside East Carolina spring football practice with Auer and the pass catchers.
🔼 Going Low. East Carolina men’s golf’s roster just got deeper, with the addition of Ethan Hall to the 2023-24 recruiting class.
Hall, a graduate transfer from Davidson, appeared in 27 career events for the Wildcats. He owns a 74.11 career stroke average over 67 career rounds.
He joins Drew Greene, Adam Lennermark, Drew O’Neal and Nathan O’Neal in the 2023-24 class.
