Good morning! We hope you had a long, drawn out, relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. While you put the coffee on and try to gear yourself up to go back to work, we’ll be searching for an online petition to make the Tuesday after Memorial Day Weekend a national holiday too.

What are we serving up in today's Brew?

🔼 The Road To Omaha. East Carolina is back in the NCAA postseason after earning an at-large bid to the Charlottesville Regional in the 2023 NCAA Baseball Championship which will be held at Davenport Field inside Disharoon Park.

The Pirates will square off with regional No. 3 seed Oklahoma in a first-round contest on Friday night at 7:00pm ET while top seed Virginia will face No. 4 seed Army West Point in the early game. ECU's game against the Sooners will air live on ESPN2.

The Pirates have never faced Oklahoma or Army on the diamond but are 24-30 against the Cavaliers in the teams' all-time series. Most recently, East Carolina hosted Virginia in the 2022 Greenville Regional, winning a 4-2 decision to advance to the regional final.

The Charlottesville Regional is paired with the Conway Regional hosted by No. 10 overall seed Coastal Carolina, which also includes Duke, UNCW, and Rider.

🔼 Four Scored. East Carolina was well-represented on the AAC All-Tournament Team, with four Pirates making the 11-man list.

⚾️ Carter Cunningham - the Pirates’ two-hole hitter collected nine hits, eight runs, and seven RBI over six games.

⚾️ Josh Moylan - hitting third, Moylan grabbed nine hits, six runs, and eight RBI in six games.
