Coastal Carolina defeats Arizona, 4-3, to win first College World Series title
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-college-world-series-20160630-snap-story.htmlCoastal Carolina capitalized on two errors on the same play for four unearned runs in the sixth inning, and the Chanticleers defeated Arizona, 4-3, in the deciding Game 3 of the College World Series finals on Thursday.
Coastal Carolina (55-18) became the first team since Minnesota in 1956 to win the title in its first CWS appearance. Arizona (49-24) was trying for its second national title since 2012.
“We're not the most talented team in America. We're just the national champion,” Gilmore said. “That's all that matters.”
Andrew Beckwith (15-1), the national leader in wins, went 5 2/3 innings after pitching two complete games and picked up his third victory of the CWS. He was named the most outstanding player.
