Coastal Carolina 1 win away from playing for a national title

[ShockdaWorld]

Thanks guys, I thought it was just unearned if it was actually the result of an error. Didn't realize it was anything after what should've been the third out. Learn something new every day.

4-2 CCU top of the 8th!

If the home run came with no outs and a runner on that had reached on an error then 1 run would be earned and 1 unearned. However, any runs that score after an error that would have ended the inning are scored as unearned regardless how they come about.

Bottom of the 9th. Still 4-2 Coastal.

[ShockdaWorld]

Jumping on the BandWagon!!! Go Coastal!!!

Mostly because I hate that damn UofA chant. blah

[1972Shocker]

Now 4-3. 2 outs, runners at 2nd and 3rd.

[Shockerman]

Wow. 4-3 Coastal, 2 outs, bottom of the 9th. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, batter has a full count.

[1972Shocker]

Strike out on a 3-2 count ends the game. Chanticleers are the Champs.

Congrats to CCU.

[WstateU]

Congrats Coastal. They were pretty much down to their last pitcher and it was all on him. Nobody up in the bullpen during the 9th for CCU. Classy program and classy coach. It gave me a very brief, small fleeting glimpse of hope for the Shox.

Very true, Shockerman.

If they can do it, so can WSU (as, in fact, WSU already did do it once upon a happier time, and in somewhat the same "back to the wall" game after game fashion). Now, whether WSU has the program leadership in place to regain that past glory is another matter. But it's certainly possible.

Edit: By the way, Shockda, your example from today is why I always take ERAs with a grain of salt, especially in the college game where a pretty high proportion of the runs scored are technically unearned. A pitcher could retire the first two hitters in an inning, have an error made behind him on a routine grounder, lose his command in frustration and give up five HRs in a row -- and all six runs would be "unearned." Everyone would know whose "fault" the six runs were, and it wouldn't be the guy who booted the grounder -- but the pitcher would still get off scot-free statistically.

Have we hired their coach yet?
