GREENVILLE, N.C. – Jake Agnos tossed eight strong innings and Jake Washer drove in three runs as NCAA Greenville Regional top seed ECU downed No. 2 seed NC State 9-2 in an elimination contest Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 4,670 at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Â
The Pirates (44-16) advance to face the loser of the winners' bracket game between No. 3 seed Campbell and No. 4 seed Quinnipiac Sunday evening at 8 p.m. The Wolfpack ends its season with a 42-19 record.
Â
Washer was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBI while Turner Brown, Spencer Brickhouse and Brady Lloyd each rapped out a pair of hits. A quartet of NC State players notched one hit apiece as Patrick Bailey and Evan Edwards both hit solo home runs to account for all of the Wolfpack's offensive production.
Â
Agnos (11-2) scattered four hits and struck out nine batters, tying the American Athletic Conference career strikeout record at 290. Jason Parker (4-4) took the loss, surrendering two runs on three hits with a walk and five strikeouts in 2.1 innings of work.
Â
In the top of the first, Agnos recorded a quick two outs before Bailey took a first-pitch offering over the fence in left field to stake NC State to a 1-0 advantage. ECU looked to respond quickly in the bottom of the second. Brickhouse laced a leadoff double to right and Carter Jenkins drew a one-out walk. Brickhouse moved to third on a wild pitch, but Parker struck out two straight to preserve the Wolfpack lead.
Â
The Pirates broke through in the bottom of the third, scoring six runs to take full control of the proceedings. Ryder Giles singled to begin the frame and Brown executed a hit and run to send Giles to third. With runners on the corners, Alec Burleson beat a throw to first on an attempted double play, allowing Giles to score and knot the game at one.
Â
Following a Brickhouse walk, Washer and Jenkins delivered consecutive RBI singles before Lloyd ripped a double to right field – scoring two on the play. The second run crossed home thanks to a fielding error in right. Lloyd then trotted home on a wild pitch to extend the cushion to 6-1.
Â
Agnos cruised through the middle innings, allowing just two base runners in the fourth, fifth and sixth frames. Washer added to the lead in the bottom of the seventh, belting a 2-0 pitch over the wall in right center to make it 8-1. A Burleson RBI single in the home half of the eighth and an Edwards solo home run in the top of the ninth accounted for the game's final two runs.
Â
Cam Colmore pitched a clean ninth inning, inducing a pair of ground balls before striking out pinch hitter Terrell Tatum to seal the win.
