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.
