2016 College World Series Final Four Matchups Set

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers survived elimination on Thursday night, defeating the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 7-5 to advance as one of the Final Four teams in the 2016 Men’s College World Series.

Coastal (51-17 overall) was led by Factory alum David Parrett (2010 Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout), going 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBI. He came into the game with just 10 RBI all season for the Chants.

For the Red Raiders, Factory alum Hunter Hargrove (2011 Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout) knocked in one of Texas Tech’s runs with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to cut Coastal’s lead to 7-4. Overall, the Mansfield, TX native with 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the effort.

Red Raiders reliever, Ryan Moseley, a two-time Under Armour Pre-Season All-American and the eighth-round selection of the Baltimore Orioles in this year’s MLB Draft, kept Texas Tech in the game, throwing four innings of three-hit relief, allowing two walks and striking out two.

Arizona Wildcats continue dominant pitching performances in Omaha

‘Zona’s pitching has been on fire, feeling right at home at TD Ameritrade Park the last few seasons. According to the NCAA website, an Arizona starter has thrown at least seven complete innings in eight straight games in Omaha since 2012. That has continued with impressive outings from Nathan Bannister and Bobby Dalbec, who have thrown seven and eight innings respectively, combining for just two earned runs allowed in this year’s CWS.

On Wednesday night, the Wildcats defeated UC-Santa Barbara, 3-0 to move on, facing the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys have had a bit of a layoff, having not played since Monday when they defeated Arizona, 1-0. The Cowboys put together an outstanding game with great defense and superb pitching to move on.

The No.2 seed Arizona Wildcats, who defeated the Miami Hurricanes for the Super Regional Championship, earn a rematch against the Cowboys at 2:00 PM EST today (Friday) on ESPN2 in a best-of-three series to determine who will go to the CWS Finals. Arizona will have to beat the Cowboys in consecutive games to move on while Coastal will have to do the same against TCU, who defeated the Chants in the second round on Tuesday. Tonight’s TCU/Coastal matchup is at 8:00 PM EST on ESPN.
