Bryant Packard moved into first place all time with his 30th consecutive game with at least one base hit.

After a Michael Woodworth double that advanced Troy Stefanski to third base, Chris Winkel’s base hit to right field scored a UConn run. That was followed by an Anthony Prato base hit to third that tallied another run to make it 2-1 Huskies.

in the bottom of the fifth inning Troy Stefanski’s grounder scored another Connecticut run to make it 3-1.

The Pirates then cut the lead to one in the seventh frame when Jake Washer slapped a base hit to centerfield that allowed Bryant Packard to score, but ECU left the bases loaded after a one out double-play ended the threat.

The two teams resume action with a Friday double-header that begins at 11 o’clock.
