Owls Run-Rule ECU to Clinch Series
4/5/2025 8:49:00 PM | Baseball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – Florida Atlantic baseball racked up 18 hits in a 14-1, seven-inning victory over East Carolina on Saturday afternoon in North Carolina. The Owls (22-9, 4-4) locked up the series and will try to sweep the Pirates (20-12, 6-2) in the finale on Sunday afternoon.
THE BEGINNING
The Owls scored early and often, hitting for the cycle as a team in the first inning. After launching a solo home run on the first pitch of the game on Friday, Marshall Lipsey kickstarted the offense again with a bunt single to lead off the game. Patrick Ward laced a triple to the left field gap to open the scoring. Jake Duer provided the double to make it 2-0, and Dylan LaPointe capped off the team cycle with an opposite-field two-run home run.THE TURNING POINT
ECU recorded its first hit of the game – a solo home run – in the second inning. The Owls responded with a John Schroeder three-run homer in the third to make it 7-1. They would bust the game open with a five-run fifth inning. The backbreaking hit was a bases-loaded, three-RBI double by Jake Millan. Millan and John Martinez would later score on an ECU error to put the Owls up 12-1. THE FINISH
Duer launched his second home run of the season in the sixth, and the Owls tacked on one more run in the top of the seventh (14-1). With the run-rule in place, starter Tyler Murphy held the Pirates scoreless in the bottom of the frame to finish the victory in seven innings.THE BATS
- Duer finished 4-for-5 with four runs scored and two RBI.
- The junior outfielder has 17 multi-hit games and five four-hit games this season.
- Ward posted a 3-for-5 line with three runs scored.
- Lipsey's first-inning bunt single extended his reached-base streak to 29 games.
- LaPointe singled twice in addition to his home run to finish 3-for-4.
- Brando Leroux made it a quartet of Owls with three or more hits. The senior shortstop singled twice and doubled as part of a 3-for-4 day.
- Schroeder's home run was his team-leading ninth of the season.
THE ARMS
- Murphy (3-2) recorded his first career complete game. He allowed just three hits and one run.
- The junior allowed the home run in the second and then did not concede another hit until there were two outs in the sixth.
