The Chanticleers are dancing into the MCWS finals riding a 26-game win streak after defeating Louisville 11-3. They await either Arkansas or LSU in the finals on Saturday.
Coastal Carolina was powered by a six-run first inning, driving the Louisville starter out of the game before recording an out. Colby Thorndyke tallied his second bases-clearing double of the MCWS, pushing three Chanticleers across in the first frame. Coastal is 4-for-7 with the bases loaded in the MCWS. All other teams combined are 2-for-18 heading into today.
The Cardinal bats were connecting today, but they could not string enough hits together. Louisville only had one fewer hit than the Chanticleers, but it left nine on base, unable to capitalize enough in the big moments.
Riley Eikhoff earned the win on the mound, going 5.1 innings with all three earned runs coming in the sixth.
With Coastal’s 56th win today, the 2025 team set the record for most single-season wins in program history, surpassing the 2016 championship team. Two more wins will put the Chanticleers back on top of college baseball.
