High Winds. High Picks. No Shelter Needed.

EYE OF THE HURRICANE 🌀 🏴‍☠️ 

Travel day back to reality for me. ALL day worth of travel to head back to RVA. I HIGHLY recommend if you are a sports fan to check out Omaha and the College World Series at least once. Its as wild as you want it to be or its as casual as you’d like it to be. Either way, even if baseball isn’t your thing, Omaha, Nebraska is great to visit at least once during a major sporting event! Hats off.

COASTAL CAROLINA ADVANCE TO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ⚾️ 🐓 🏆️ 

The Chants, all they do is win. From the Coastal Regional where the Chanticleers went 3-0, eliminating Fairfield, Florida and East Carolina. Then to the Super Regionals where they went 2-0 outing Auburn. Now, in Omaha at the College World Series, they eliminated Arizona, Oregon State and today sent Louisville home.

Coastal Carolina jumped on Louisville in the first scoring 6 runs and never looked back in their 11-3 victory, sending the Chanticleers to their 2nd ever National Championship Series. In 2016, Coastal Carolina defeated Arizona 2-1 to win the National Championship. Now they have a chance to do it again.

Colton Hartman got the start for the Cardinals, but did not last long. After a leadoff single by Cade Bodine, he plunked the next two batters, loading the bases. Walker Mitchell then singled down 1st base driving in two to open up the scoring. After another walk by Hartman; he was sent to the showers without regarding an out. Up next, Colby Thorndyke emptied the bases with a double of his own. In all, Coastal scored 6 runs in the bottom of the first.

Thorndyke ended the game with 3 Hits and 5 RBIs.

Riley Eikhoff picked up the victory with 5.1 innings pitched, striking out four.

Coastal Carolina now receives two days off to prepare for their SEC counterpart. First team to win two is crowned National Champions.

ARKANSAS PLAGUES THEMSELVES WITH WORST-TIMED ERRORS, PUTS LSU IN CHAMPIONSHIP ⚾️ 🐯 🏆️ 

Some of the most unbelievable errors made by a team in the Final 4, in the defensive part of their 9th inning did the Arkansas Razorbacks in. First, they could have ended the game on a routine double play 6-4-3. Instead they used the 6-5 force out and didn’t try to make the toss to 1st. Then, a lined drive to LF, the outfield misjudged the hit and the ball literally hit the Outfielder in the head, scoring two for LSU and tying the game. One batter later, the game winning hit took place - sending LSU to the National Championship against Coastal Carolina.

Championship series starts Saturday night at 7:00 PM ET.
