OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Connor Owings' bloop RBI single sparked a three-run eighth inning, and Coastal Carolina beat Arizona 5-4 Tuesday night to send the College World Series finals to a deciding Game 3.
Mike Morrison was sensational in his first start of the season, helping the Chanticleers rebound from a 3-0 loss to the Wildcats in the opener. The teams meet again tonight to decide the national championship.
Owings was batting .125 (3-for-24) in the CWS when he stepped to the plate against Cameron Ming in the eighth. The Big South Player of the Year fought off a high inside pitch, sending it into short left field to drive in Anthony Marks from second base with the go-ahead run.
