GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Devin Harris singled home Kyle Roller in
the bottom of the 10th inning to lift East Carolina past South
Carolina 10-9 on Monday night in an NCAA regional final.
Harris, who forced extra innings with a three-run homer in the
ninth, finished with four hits and five RBIs for the top-seeded
Pirates (46-18). East Carolina rallied from six runs down to earn
its first super regional berth since 2004.
East Carolina will play North Carolina in a best-of-three super
regional series.
In the 10th, Roller doubled, Brandon Henderson was intentionally
walked, and two batters later, Harris sent Sam Dyson's 3-1 pitch up
the middle.
Scott Wingo and Jackie Bradley Jr. homered for South Carolina
(40-23), which led 6-0 in the fifth.
