East Carolina took a big step towards putting itself in position to win another American Athletic Conference, sweeping Memphis on the road in impressive fashion to take a two-game lead in the conference race with three regular season weekends left. ECU now sits atop the league standings at 14-4, ahead of UTSA - which dropped a series at Rice and is now 12-6. The Pirates also defeated NC State in the midweek to sweep the season series. ECU has won eight in a row overall and is 35-8 on the campaign.

The Pirates operated the 4-0 week without the availability of two of their top arms in Zach Root and Wyatt Lunsford-Shenkman. Trey Yesavage threw 6.2 no-hit innings on Friday night in the win at Memphis to continue his stellar season. Carter Cunningham homered three times over the weekend as the Pirates scored 36 runs in Memphis.

The Bucs on the Pond podcast returns with hosts Stephen Igoe, Jonathan Wagner, and Scott Lorbacher, as the trio answers questions, give their reactions to the week that was, and more.
