Kicking off Day 3 competition at the CWS is the elimination bracket game between Arizona and Louisville, which lost to Coastal Carolina and Louisville, respectively, on Friday, June 13.
The headliner of Day 3 at the CWS is the winners’ bracket between Coastal Carolina and Oregon State. The Chanticleers extended their nation-leading win streak to 24 consecutive games with a 7-4 win over Arizona thanks to RBIs doubles from Wells Sykes and Blake Barthol. Meanwhile, a wacky top of the ninth by Oregon State turned a 3-1 lead against Louisville into a 3-3 game going into the bottom of the ninth. Then Gavin Turley laced a double down the left field line for a walk-off hit to put the Beavers one step closer to the semifinals.
