Louisville's CWS dreams ended under a barrage of Chanticleer hits, with Coastal scoring twelve times in the first four innings on their way to an overwhelming victory. A walk, single and hit batsman loaded the bases with Chants with two away in the 2nd, and Caden Bodine got the party started with a bases-clear ing double to center field. Brennyn Cutts couldn't survive the inning, leaving after Sebastian Alexander had singled in another run, but Justin West fared no better - three singles and another hit batter led to two runs in the 3r, and then six hits including a Bodine homer produced six more runs in the 4th. The Cardinals saved a little face by finally getting to Flukey for four runs in the 5th, punctuated by Eddie King's two-run blast, but the mountain was high and the Coastal bullpen tossed three shutout innings while their mates were piling on four more scores in the 8th. Coastal earned the right to face off with Oregon State tomorrow afternoon. Coastal Carolina 16-18-1, Louisville 5-7-2. [scoresheet]

Bruin pitching stifled the Tigers for eight innings, and Roch Cholowsky and Mulivai Levi each had three hits to pace a UCLA attack that built enough of an advantage to withstand a late LSU charge. The two Bruins each doubled in the 1st, with Levi's two-bagger scoring the first two runs of the game, and Cholowsky followed Cashel Dugger's leadoff homer in the 6th with another two-base hit before Levi drove him in again with a base hit. LSU got one back in the bottom half when Tanner Reaves singled across Jake Brown, but a two-out, two-run single by Payton Brennan in the 8th appeared to put matters to rest for good. Not quite so fast, as the Tigers struck for three home runs off of Jack O'Connor in the bottom of the 9th (despite his H rating) to close the game to 6-5 in the blink of an eye. Easton Hawk came out of the pen to induce two ground balls to second base, and UCLA survived and advanced to face Arkansas. UCLA 6-14-0, LSU 5-7-0. [scoresheet]
