GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina softball team concludes its four-game homestand this weekend when the Pirates host American Athletic Conference foe Memphis for a three-game series at Max R. Joyner Family Stadium.
The series starts off at 5 p.m. on Friday, followed by a 2 p.m. first pitch on Saturday and concluding on Sunday at noon. Friday and Saturday's contests will be streamed on ecupirates.com with Courtney Layton calling both games while Sunday's action will be on ESPN+ with Patrick Johnson (pxp) and Layton (analyst) on the call.
ECU defeated Norfolk State by a score of 6-2 on Wednesday behind a 4-for-4 outing at the plate from Kanisha Anderson, including a triple and Annie Kate Dalton's first career triple, which scored three runs. Kendall Frost and Taylor Apple were dominant in the circle on a staff day for the Pirates, allowing no hits or runs in their combined six innings in the circle.
The Pirates are led at the plate by Anderson's .437 batting average (3rd in AAC) and the speedy sophomore leads the team with 14 multi-hit games this season. Emma Jackson, Morgan Johnson and Dalton combine for 30 of the Pirates' 45 home runs, which is first in the league (28th in NCAA). The Pirates' seven home runs in the 15-7 win at Charlotte last Saturday tied for the second-most home runs in a single game in AAC Softball history. Taylor Apple (3.29 ERA, 88 Ks) and Kendall Frost (4.06 ERA, 67 Ks) are the two main arms in the circle for ECU.
