re: Coastal Carolina has to be the biggest Cinderella of the modern era.

Coastal also moved from the Big South conference to the Sun Belt and this was their first year competing in the Sun Belt. They also lost their first game of the sun belt conference double elimination tournament and then it starts raining and the conference just decides to change the tournament to single elimination which shut the door for the conference's regular season champs, Coastal. As LSU fans you also know that every team Coastal played would lose a finger just to say they beat the reigning National Champion. Coastal was also on an 11 game win streak heading into the tournament. It didn't help that 4 conference tournaments we're won by teams not expected to. Coastal just missed out. As far as biggest Cinderella Coastal has to be at least 2nd. The Citadel didn't win anything and just bc Davidson makes the CWS doesn't mean much. Coastal winning it in their first appearance makes them at least 2nd. Someone said Fresno St had been to the CWS 3 times. If that's true then I'd put Coastal over them. I'm sure you can't be from a much smaller town than Conway, SC with a population around 15,000 ppl.. Houston has more ppl than the entire state of SC plus you have SCar and Clemson cleaning up most recruits. Cali only has what 40 million ppl to SC's 4. Also last year's Coastal team was probably not as good as their 2010 team that lost in the supers to future NC SCar basically bc Coastal was without their 3 best pitchers for entire series against SCar due to the flu and SCar running over their 3rd best pitchers in the first inning of game one. The other 2 were All Americans. That made it that much sweeter to see Coastal win it all. Coastal should get better now that they are a D1 school instead of a D2 school except in baseball like last year
