OMAHA, Neb. — Coastal Carolina’s incredible postseason run will continue for at least another day.

The Chanticleers got a big boost offensively from an unlikely source, and they capitalized on Texas Tech’s struggles in the field to beat the Red Raiders 7-5 on Thursday night in a College World Series elimination game.

The Raiders, at No. 5, were the third and final national seed knocked out of the NCAA Tournament, and the second by Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers swept No. 8 LSU on the road in super regionals, and they beat No. 1 Florida in their CWS opener.

“If you had told me we would be where we’re at right now four months ago, two months ago, maybe three weeks ago, I’m not sure I would have laid a whole lot of money on it by any means,” coach Gary Gilmore said.
