The Sports Objective

The Road to Omaha continues this weekend with eight Super Regionals.

We discuss those matchups with Stu Murray of On Campus to the Cape Podcast, as well as the play by play for Duke (Chris Edwards) and North Carolina (Dave Nathan).

The Pirates (47-16), who are playing in the fifth Super Regional in school history, travel to Louisville to face the ACC regular season champ.

We talk about the match-up with Cameron Teague Robinson of the Louisville Courier Journal, Stephen Igoe of Hoist the Colours and the Learfield IMG College Pirate Sports Network PxP Corey Gloor.

After suffering a shocking 5-4 loss to Quinnipiac on Saturday, No. 10 East Carolina posted four dominant victories in less than 36 hours to win the Greenville Regional and advance to the program's fifth Super Regional!

The Pirates (47-16) defeated Campbell twice on Monday (10-3 and 12-3) to advance this weekend's Super Regional at No. 7 Louisville.

That Best of Three series will begin on Friday with the Pirates and Cardinals squaring off at Noon EST at Jim Patterson Stadium on ESPN2.

East Carolina outscored NC State (9-2), Quinnipiac (13-3) so when combined with the Campbell wins, the Pirates outscored the opposition by a 44-11 tally.

We talk about it with East Carolina Baseball letterwinners Warren Gaspar ('01-'02) & Ryan Tousley ('06-'07).

Go Pirates!

We had a Selection Monday visit with Corey Gloor to discuss the Greenville Regional PLUS we were joined by current UC Davis assistant coach Brett Lindgren. Lindgren was a member of the 2004 and 2005 teams after transferring in from JUCO with Billy Richardson. As a coach, he has been to Omaha multiple times at Fullerton so we talk about his time as a Pirate, Titan and more!

The 2004 Pirates won a school-record 51 games and featured one of the most potent lineups in East Carolina Baseball history.

Third baseman Mark Minnicoti had a stellar sophomore campaign during which he hit .342 with  10 HR while also making tremendous plays with the glove.

We caught up with Cozz, the Water Buffalo, to get his thoughts on the memorable season.

The guys also have a round table to discuss Sunday Night’s regional host site announcement and Selection Monday

The guys talk about what is ahead for ECU Baseball following the Pirates getting eliminated from The American Tournament.

The current East Carolina Baseball roster features 14 Dirtbags and more than 20 current Dirtbags are headed to the Pirates in the coming years so we caught up with ECU alum and Dirtbags General Manager Trey Daly to discuss those prospects!

Pat Watkins was drafted in the first round and 32nd overall by the Cincinnati Reds in the 1993 MLB Draft. Watkins, who was a multi-sport star at Garner High School, batted .445 and 19 HR as a junior in '93.

The 2004 East Carolina Baseball team won more games (51) than any other in school history. We catch up with Trevor Lawhorn and Ryan Norwood from that extremely explosive lineup!
