Oregon State baseball vs. Coastal Carolina prediction in College World Series
In a battle of CWS darlings, look for Oregon State to have a slight edge. Sophomore left-hander Ethan Kleinschmit (8-4, 3.54 earned run average) has been outstanding on the big stage during the postseason and produced stellar outings against Saint Mary’s and Florida State.
Coastal Carolina sophomore Jacob Morrison is in the midst of his own stellar season. But, as has been the case all season, the Beavers will be happy to face a right-hander on the big stage; they have hit them much better than they have hit southpaws this season.
In what is expected to be an electric pitcher’s duel, OSU will look to keep its storybook season rolling.
Prediction: Oregon State 5, Coastal Carolina 3
