OMAHA, Neb. -- Coastal Carolinas incredible postseason run isnt over yet.Connor Owings bloop RBI single sparked a three-run eighth inning, and the Chanticleers beat Arizona 5-4 on Tuesday night to send the College World Series finals to a deciding Game 3.Mike Morrison was sensational in his first start of the season, helping the Chanticleers rebound from a 3-0 loss to the Wildcats in the opener. The teams meet again Wednesday night for the national championship.That was a whole lot of emotion going on out there, and its hard to describe it, having not been in that position before in my life, said Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore, whose program is in the CWS for the first time. Our guys kept breathing pretty good, and we got through it.The Chanticleers staved off elimination for the fourth time in the CWS and fifth time in the NCAA tournament, but not before some nervous moments in the eighth inning, when their three-run lead was cut to one.One thing we always talk about is the team that deserves to win usually will, Wildcats coach Jay Johnson said. In this case, it was Coastal. They were a little bit better with runners on base tonight and wiggled out of some jams. So well dust off and get ready for tomorrow.The Chanticleers, from Conway, South Carolina, will play the winner-take-all game for their schools first national championship in any sport.Arizona is going for its fifth national title in baseball, and second since 2012, in a season in which it was picked to be one of the bottom teams in the Pac-12 in Johnsons first year.Its going to be a very exciting opportunity -- two very good teams that have been playing well down the stretch, Owings said. You cant write it better than it is right now.Owings was batting .125 (3-for-24) in the CWS when he stepped to the plate against Cameron Ming in the eighth. The Big South player of the year, Owings fought off a high inside pitch, sending it into short left field to drive in Anthony Marks from second base with the go-ahead run.I hit a couple of balls on the barrel and get out three times, and the pitcher makes a great pitch up and in the top of the zone, Owings said. I ... end up putting us ahead in the national championship.After Zach Remillard chased Ming (3-3) with a double, G.K. Young followed with a two-run single off Alfonso Rivas to give the Chanticleers a three-run lead.Arizona (49-23) made it a one-run game in the bottom half after Bobby Holmes (7-2) walked two straight to load the bases with none out. One run came home on Justin Behnkes groundout, and another scored when shortstop Michael Paez bobbled Louis Boyds routine grounder.Gilmore said Holmes let the pressure of pitching in the finals get to him.He was out of sync, not taking any breaths and just slinging the ball all over the place, Gilmore said. We were lucky to get out of that.Holmes pitched a perfect ninth, and Coastal Carolina improved to 50-1 when leading after eight innings.With Coastal Carolina (54-18) running low on pitching, Gilmore turned to Morrison, his senior closer, to start a game for the third time in his career. Morrison responded with career highs of 6? innings, 103 pitches and 10 strikeouts. He allowed six hits and two runs and left to a loud ovation from the teal-clad Chanticleers fans.I put my heart and soul into this program for four years, and to end it like that, that was special, Morrison said. That standing ovation was probably the coolest thing thats ever going to happen in my entire life.Arizona starter Kevin Ginkel was just as good, striking out a career-high 10 in seven innings. He allowed two runs and five hits.He was spectacular tonight and gave us everything he could and everything we needed, Johnson said.FAST STARTERSIn 12 CWS games at TD Ameritrade Park (2012 and 2016), the Wildcats have outscored opponents 16-0 in the first inning. Leadoff man Cody Ramer has reached base to start the past four Arizona games, leading to five runs.WINNING DEBUTThe Chanticleers are attempting to become the first team to win the championship in its first CWS appearance since Minnesota in 1956.

Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. During the celebrations in one corner of the ground on the morning of Indias 500th Test, which were shown only on TV and the rest of the crowd had no clue what was happening, Indias current coach and former captain Anil Kumble was called up to the stage. He was felicitated. Perhaps given a shawl and a memento by the governor of the state. Being respectful, Kumble thought he shouldnt carry his mobile phone to the stage. So he left the phone, his shades and his cap behind where he was sitting. He got his memento but by the time he came back, his shades and cap were gone, in the presence of the governor, sports minister and principal sports secretary of the state, and the security arrangements the presence of such people brings with it.Welcome to Kanpur, the city hosting Indias 500th Test. There is a joke often told in the context of Kanpur. A visitor was once amazed at seeing a Kanpur pigeon flapping only one wing when it flew. So he paid the owner a hefty sum to buy it. When the new owner reached his home, the pigeon began using both wings. Perplexed and angry that he had been conned, he took the bird back to the seller in Kanpur. Now once again the pigeon began using one wing. The seller now explained, This is Kanpur, here even pigeons cover their backsides when they leave their home.Kanpur is a unique experience in watching Test cricket. There is of course the pedigree. The first turf pitch in India was laid in Kanpur. A local club even claims the first time Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly met was here during the nets for a domestic tournament. The second part is incidental just as the 500th Test coming to Kanpur is.It is a good coincidence though, because Kanpur is the India they wont show you in tourism brochures or Incredible India ad campaigns. This is the India governments dont want you to see too much. This is the India half of the modern India debating net neutrality on Twitter doesnt know about.To be in this India and to be able to watch a Test at the same time is a gift. There are structural inconveniences of a government stadium, but the different levels of asinine problems that a fan has to face in other venues in the name of security are non-existent here. You cant take a pen inside other grounds for you could use it as a missile to throw on the ground. This is the explanation many a cop has given me. In other grounds, you cant step out for a bite because your ticket allows you only a single entry. Green Park is a freer place.If you spend a week here, it might be worth starting a Twitter handle or a blog called Overheard in Kanpur.This is the home of Bollywood director Shaad Ali. His films are understated and delightful. It is hard to imagine his work doesnt draw from his experiences of having grown up in Kanpur. Bunty Aur Babli, about a lovable, charming couple who are also crooks, is based on real-life characters from this general area. Especially the screenplay, the language that is spoken in his films, comes straight from Kanpur.Another Bollywood act that borrows from Kanpur is the movie Tashan. The lead character Bachchan Pandey, as Uttar Pradesh a name as it gets, is a katiyabaaz, an electricity thief who steals with home-made wires from official power cables. This electricity theft in Kanpur costs the state millions of rupees every year, and results in long power cuts.There is no bigger compliment to the cleverness of the language of Kanpur than the great poet Gulzar using the tagline of a sweets shop in a lyric for the original soundtrack of Bunty Aur Babli.dddddddddddd The shop in question is Thuggoo Ke Laddoo (Thugs Laddoos). Laddoo is a sweet made differently all over India, but in this case it is made with semolina, milk solids, a lot of ghee (clarified butter), nuts and sugar. The tagline for this shop is Aisa koi saga nahi jisko humne thaga nahi (There is no such close one that we havent thugged). The name, though, was just thought of as a clever way to attract eyeballs. The owner is a Gandhian. Gandhi used to tell Indians that sugar is white poison. So in a way, he says, I am thugging people by getting them addicted to my laddoos, which are made of white poison.The Company Bagh (Garden) of Kanpur is quite possibly the inspiration behind the immortal line in the film Omkara, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, who is from UP too. A character taunted for not showing guts reminds the other about his moment of weakness. Tab kinge gaya tha gooda, Company Gaadden?(Where did the guts go then? On a walk in Company Garden)?Not just Gulzar or Shaad or Bhardwaj, you spend a week here and you will come back with an enriched language. Overheard In Twitter handles and blogs were made for this part of the world. Saha chhotey mein Bournvita nahi piya hai kya be? asks a policeman on duty at India nets. Wriddhiman Saha is small, and Bournvita is a popular brand of childrens health drink.Just outside the ground a man sells tea, paan and cigarettes in a cart that is caged on all sides. I ask him why. Monkeys, he says. Monkeys? There are two kinds of monkeys, he says. Ones that comes and destroy from behind. The others who walk on the street and steal.Talking of monkeys, one attacked the dressing room two days before the match. The possibility of a repeat attack was a big crisis among police forces. The prospects of getting a langur, genus Semnopithecus, to keep monkeys at bay was discussed. Then arose the problem of how the langur will be fed. One of the officers said that as long as you sat and ate peacefully with the langur, it is cool but once you make a sudden movement, it runs away. Thankfully, no monkeys showed up on match days, but as Harbhajan Singh has proved and Sachin Tendulkar has testified, the topic of monkeys made a natural progression towards colourful swearwords.If Nalanda in Bihar is the ancient seat of learning, Kanpur might as well be the ancient seat of swearing. It is almost like the rest of India has taken the swear words and bastardised them. Here they exist in their original and respectful form. When it is said respectfully and coldly, it loses the rhetoric that swearing has in the rest of India and gains an edge. More about it is obviously not publishable, but suffice to say the fourth umpire for this match, CK Nandan, will be well advised to not tell Kanpuriyas his name.So please visit Kanpur at least once for Test cricket, but the moment your train pulls into the station, the sights of the banks of Ganga and dudhiyas (milkmen carrying three massive containers each) around you, cover your backside, sharpen your one-liners and keep your ears open for the gems. In other words, do what Saif Ali Khans character in Tashan says he needs to do in a crisis: Mujhe akkalmand banna padega, khatarnaak banna padega, Kanpuriya banna padega (I will have to become clever. I will have to become dangerous. I will have to become a Kanpuriya). ' ' '
