GREENVILLE, N.C. — Rahjai Harris had rushing and receiving touchdowns and East Carolina picked up its first win of the season, beating Gardner-Webb 44-0 on Saturday night for the Pirates' first shutout in 23 years. East Carolina's last shutout came in a 38-0 win over Duke on Sept. 2, 2000. ECU scored on four straight possessions in the first half, including three TDs, the final one on Mason Garcia's 2-yard rush. That score came not long after a fumbled kickoff, one of three Bulldogs turnovers in the first half and five for the game. Harris scored East Carolina's first two touchdowns, the first on an 11-yard pass from Alex Flinn and the other on a 2-yard run.
