We're now two days into the NCAA Division 1 Baseball Tournament, and my team has already lost. Luckily for East Carolina, this tournament is double-elimination. But if the Pirates hope to advance to the super-regional, they will need to win their next three games; two of them being today and one tomorrow.
After a 12-2 dismantling at the hands of South Carolina, ECU will play Binghamton at 2, and if they win, South Carolina at 6.
If they are to win both games today, they will play their fifth game in three days Monday against South Carolina, for a chance to advance. Rain postponed their Friday night game, moving it to Saturday morning at 10. They won that game 11-7 over Binghamton to advance in the winner's bracket.
The winner of the region will play the winner of the Chapel Hill region, which will likely be North Carolina. East Carolina and North Carolina split the two games this season, both teams winning at home.
Hopefully ECU can win their next three games and advance, but it will be a long shot. The way they played in their second game yesterday did not leave many fans optimistic, but today's a new day, it all depends on which ECU team shows up today and, hopefully, tomorrow.
