GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina softball team concludes its regular season slate this weekend when the Pirates welcome Tulsa to Max R. Joyner Family Stadium beginning on Friday with a 5:02 p.m. first pitch on ESPN+ with Evan Budrovich and Brittany Hoyt on the call.
Â
Prior to the start of Sunday's game, the Pirates will recognize seven seniors in Taudrea Sinnie, Madisyn Davis, Bailee Wilson, Millicent Ott, Sydney Yoder, Sophie Wools and student manager Weston Wall.
Â
The Pirates are coming off a doubleheader against NC State last Saturday in which they split the two contests, coming up short 4-2 in the first game and bouncing back to defeat the Wolfpack 4-1 in the second game. Bailee Wilson led the way in the Pirates' win with two hits including a two RBI homerun to break the game open and was named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll on Monday. Addy Bullis earned the win in the circle, pitching a complete game and not allowing a hit for the final five innings.
Â
Taylor Edwards leads the Pirates on offense with a batting average of .381 (6th in AAC), is tied for fourth with Sinnie in the AAC with five triples (t-19th in NCAA) this season and has recorded multiple hits in 12 games to lead the Pirates. Sinnie is second in the American in stolen bases with 17 and Logan Sutton leads the team in home runs with six. The Pirates are led in the circle by Bullis (2.77 ERA, 90 strikeouts) and Jordan Hatch (3.50 ERA, 105 strikeouts).
Â
Scouting the Golden Hurricane
Tulsa is coming off a 6-0 defeat at the hands of No. 1 Oklahoma on Tuesday night and the Golden Hurricane have dropped their last four contests. Haley Morgan leads the Golden Hurricane at the plate with a .394 batting average (3rd in AAC), 41 hits (t-6th in AAC) and five home runs. The Golden Hurricane are led in the circle by the one-two punch of Maura Moore (3.30 ERA) and Kylee Nash (4.95 ERA).
Â
Tulsa leads the series with East Carolina 37-13 and has taken 17 of the 26 matchups in Greenville. The last time the Pirates defeated the Golden Hurricane was on May 9, 2019, when No. 7 seed ECU upset No. 2 seed Tulsa 4-3 in eight innings in the quarterfinals of the AAC Tournament.
