Freshman Christian Fedko’s first career home run in the bottom of the eighth inning gave Connecticut a 6-5 win over Coastal Carolina on Sunday, ending the Chanticleers season in the NCAA Conway Regional.
Coastal (43-19) defeated LIU Brooklyn Friday in its regional opener before falling to Washington 11-6 Saturday and UConn on Sunday.
UConn (37-21-1) advances to play Washington (32-23) at 6 p.m. Sunday, and needs to win that game to force a deciding game Monday.
Junior Zach Biermann drove in four runs for Coastal with a home run leading off the second inning, RBI single in the fifth and two-run single in the eighth.
