Coastal Carolina will welcome Connecticut, Washington and LIU Brooklyn this weekend for its NCAA baseball regional at Springs Brooks Stadium. The teams were announced during a selection show on ESPNU on Monday, and the Chanticleers and supporters gathered at Handleys Pub & Grub in Carolina Forest to view the announcement.
The Chants (42-17) learned Sunday night they would be one of 16 teams hosting a regional while returning on sleeper coach buses from the Sun Belt Conference Championship in Lafayette, La., where they went 4-0 and defeated Troy 11-6 in the title game.
Coastal is seeded 15th overall nationally, and would potentially travel to second-seeded Stanford for a best-of-three-games Super Regional if both the Chants and Cardinal win their regionals.
