Hoist the Colours: An East Carolina Athletics Podcast

East Carolina's baseball team had a miserable week, going 0-4 to see its losing streak hit five consecutive games. The Pirates dropped to 37-13 on the season and 16-8 in American Athletic Conference play with a 5-2 midweek loss to Duke, and a three-game sweep at the hands of Tulane. Two of the losses to the Green Wave came in walk-off fashion, as the Pirates dropped their fifth consecutive game for the first time in seven years.

ECU will try and respond this week with a four-game home slate, with games scheduled against Campbell (Tuesday) and Rice (Thursday through Saturday) as the season wraps up. East Carolina holds a one-game lead in the conference standings ahead of UTSA with three league games left.

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.

East Carolina completed another successful weekend with a series victory inside Clark-LeClair Stadium over visiting USF over the weekend. The Pirates won 11-1 behind another stellar Trey Yesavage start on Friday, before splitting a doubleheader on Sunday. The first game Sunday went to ECU by the final of 8-5, as the Pirates hit four home runs. The series finale, East Carolina lost 5-4 in seven innings, as the team’s 10-game winning streak came to a halt.

The Pirates, ranked sixth, are now 37-9 overall this season, including a 16-5 record in The American. There are now eight regular season games remaining, starting with Tuesday’s home contest against Duke, followed by a trip to Tulane.

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.

It was a big weekend for East Carolina's football program, as the Pirates hosted their latest Purple-Gold Spring Game to cap off the spring season. Team Purple won the game 23-14, but more importantly, several members of the team at key positions looked the part. New offensive coordinator John David Baker put his offense on display, and so did quarterbacks Katin Houser and Jake Garcia, with each dazzling with big-time throws early.

The defense settled in from the second quarter onwards, eventually getting some key stops and not allowing an offensive touchdown the rest of the way. The Pirates recorded three interceptions, with redshirt freshman safety Kamaurri McKinley tallying a pick-six.

On Monday afternoon's edition of the Hoist The Colours podcast, host Stephen Igoe was joined by co-host Sean (NoVaPirate on the HTC message boards), as the two diagnosed what they saw in the spring game, answered questions, and more.

It was quite the week for East Carolina's baseball team, as the Pirates played five games in six days, compiling a record of 4-1. ECU tallied midweek victories over Elon and Old Dominion, before winning the series over Charlotte. It appeared as if the Pirates were on their way to a 5-0 week before the 49ers rallied with a go-ahead grand slam in the ninth inning on Sunday, stealing the 8-7 victory.

The Pirates threw a pair of no-hitters during the week, though both were of the shortened variety. Jaden Winter, Chris Kahler and Parker Thomas combined for the no-no in a 12-0 victory over Elon on Tuesday, before Trey Yesavage and Jackson DiLorenzo tossed a no-no in an 11-0 win over Charlotte on Friday. ECU is now 27-8 on the season, including an 8-4 mark in The American, after its 4-1 week.

Trey Yesavage pitched a gem on Friday night, leading ECU to a 4-1 win, before the Pirates suffered a walk-off 6-5 loss on Saturday. After getting down 3-0 in the series finale, ECU rallied with eight unanswered runs and eventually won, 8-6.

East Carolina bounced back from its first series loss of the season with a perfect 4-0 week. It started with a 7-4 win over UNC Wilmington in the midweek to complete a season sweep over the Seahawks. ECU then swept a doubleheader on Friday over UAB, before nearly throwing a no-hitter (one out shy) in a 7-1 victory on Saturday to complete the sweep. ECU is now 20-6 overall and 4-2 in The American, with a big four-game road week ahead.

East Carolina suffered its first series loss of the season over the weekend, dropping two of three to UTSA, to open league play. The Pirates dropped to 16-6 overall and 1-2 in the conference. ECU fell on Friday, 4-2, in a game where the Roadrunners jumped out to a lead early that the Pirates could never quite recover from. On Saturday, ECU built a 12-4 advantage behind a six-run frame before holding on for a 14-10 win. In the series finale on Sunday, ECU hit four homers, but it wasn't enough to overcome a 4-1 deficit early, and it led to an eventual 6-5 loss.
