April 17, 2024 | Softball
Wilmington, N.C. – Morgan Johnson went 4-for-4 at the plate with a solo home run but East Carolina fell 5-4 on the final play of the game to UNC Wilmington on Wednesday evening at Boseman Field.
The Pirates (30-15) dropped their second straight game and left 10 runners on base.
Kanisha Anderson would hit a single in the top of the first and the Pirates would draw back-to-back walks to load the bases before Johnson scored on a wild pitch to give ECU a 1-0 lead. The Seahawks would answer in the bottom of the first on an RBI single to knot the game at 1-1.
After a scoreless second and third inning, UNCW would take the lead on an RBI triple in the bottom of the fourth.Â
The Pirates would tie the game at 2-2 after a Taylor Woodring RBI double plated Anna Sawyer but ECU would strand two runners including one on third to end the inning. UNCW would notch a two RBI single in the bottom of the fifth to go back in front 4-2.
ECU would battle back to tie the game on a Johnson's home run and a sacrifice fly from Kylee Schojan would score Payton Hudson. UNCW would hit two singles and score the game-winning run after a Pirate error.

East Carolina will return home for an American Athletic Conference series against South Florida beginning on Friday at 5 p.m. on ESPN+.
