No. 23 Pirates look to extend win streak to eight against Elon



*Dustin Harrington (pictured above) is hitting a team best .455 after going 12-of-20 last week.

The Diamond Pirates (16-8) take a seven-game win streak into tonight's match-up with in-state rival Elon.

ECU has enjoyed many intense, competitive match-ups with the Southern Conference power in recent seasons and tonight should be more of the same.

The Phoenix (15-9, 5-4) has won five straight and is coming off a perfect week. Elon earned two mid-week victories (15-10, 4-3 in 10 innings) at No. 5 Clemson last week before sweeping at league foe Davidson on the weekend.

Elon will start southpaw Dylan Clark. Clark has struggled in just over seven innings of action this season.

The D-Bucs will counter with hard throwing righty Zach Woods. Woods, who has made nine appearances, has started four games and compiled a 3-1 record and 4.67 ERA. Opponents are hitting .272 against him. He has struck out 34 batters in 27 innings of work.
