No. 24 Coastal Carolina Evens Series With 9-1 Victory
March 08, 2025 | Baseball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – No. 24 Coastal Carolina raced out to an early five-run advantage Saturday on the way to a 9-1 win over East Carolina in the middle contest of the teams' three-game set inside Lewis Field at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Â
The Pirates (7-7) and Chanticleers (11-4) play the series rubber game Sunday at 1 p.m.
Â
Cameron Flukey (1-0) put together seven scoreless frames to earn the win, scattering four hits and striking out five against one walk. Sean Jenkins (1-1) was saddled with the loss, allowing five runs on five hits with two walks in 2.0 innings of work.
Â
The top of the Coastal Carolina lineup did the heavy lifting as Dean Mihos, Caden Bodine and Blake Barthol combined to go 7-for-15 with three runs scored and five RBI. Colby Wallace paced the ECU lineup with a pair of hits and a run scored.
Â
Both teams created some traffic on the base paths in the first inning, but the Chanticleers broke through in the second frame with a five spot, hitting a pair of two-run home runs sandwiched around a Bodine RBI double. Coastal Carolina added single tallies in the top of the fourth and sixth innings before the Pirates plated one in the bottom of the eighth on a wild pitch. The Chanticleers capped the evening with two runs in the top of the ninth.
