The College of Charleston baseball team is road-tested and good enough to win anywhere, including Tallahassee. So it was a fun time Monday inside The Kickin’ Chicken in Mount Pleasant as the Cougars cheered news that they are a No. 2 seed bound to face No. 3 Auburn at an NCAA baseball regional hosted by Florida State.
But it was not a great day in South Carolina for college baseball.
The College of Charleston lost a chance to host an NCAA regional for the first time, either by losing a pair of one-run games to UNC Wilmington in the CAA Tournament last weekend, or getting outfoxed by UC Santa Barbara’s plan to host in a spiffy minor league ballpark that looks a lot like Charleston’s Riley Park.
