Sports in GD - little Coastal Carolina is playing for college baseball National Championship tonight

Vs. Arizona. Best of 3 series - each team has one 1 game.

Coastal Carolina
Conway SC
enrollment 10,263

I don't watch much college baseball but when I saw that they'd made it to Omaha I was intrigued. They've survived several elimination games. Lead the country in home runs this year but they don't appear to have a lineup of huge sluggers.

Let's see a win for the Pac 12, a plus.

UofA ties ASU for baseball championships, a minus.

SERIOUSLY, IT IS UofA!

This wasn't a fluke. They beat three national seeds and are a very, very good team. The way the CWS games are spread out, you don't have to have a lot of pitching depth. All you need are one or two top notch starters and a good short reliever. CCU had that, and some hot hitting.
