East Carolina Blanks George Washington 2-0 In Pirate Clash Finale
February 16, 2020 | Softball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Freshman RHP Logyn Estes twirled her first collegiate complete game shutout to lift East Carolina past George Washington 2-0 in the final game of the Pirate Clash Sunday afternoon at the ECU Softball Stadium.
Â
In her fifth season, head coach Courtney Oliver picked up her 100th victory in charge of the program.
Â
Estes (3-0) scattered three hits in the victory while walking two batters and striking out four. She completed the shutout in just 91 pitches. Mia Parker (0-1) also went the distance, surrendering two unearned runs on seven hits with two walks and a strikeout.
Â
Senior outfielder Olivia Narron paced the offense with two hits while junior infielder Chandley Garner and senior catcher Abigail Umphlett drove in a run apiece. A trio of Colonial batters recorded a hit each. The teams combined to leave 15 runners on base.
Â
Narron got the Pirates off to an auspicious start in the bottom of the first, reaching second base via an error in the outfield. She moved to third on a flyout before scoring on a Garner RBI groundout.
Â
In the bottom of the second, junior infielder Ashleigh Inae drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on an error at second base. With Inae and Estes in scoring position following a sacrifice bunt off the bat of sophomore infielder Bailey Ledvina, Umphlett dropped a run-scoring single into centerfield to increase the ECU advantage to 2-0.
Â
East Carolina would load the bases a couple of times the rest of the way, but could not add to the lead. George Washington attempted to rally in the top of the seventh as Faith Weber sent a leadoff single into left center. However, Estes induced a ground ball double play of the 6-4-3 variety before getting Hannah Eslick to ground out to end the game.
Â
ECU remains at home next weekend, welcoming Massachusetts, Pittsburgh and Towson to Greenville for the Pirate Invitational.
