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

Coastal Carolina just doesn't seem to fit the definition of "Cinderella" besides the fact that they were relatively unknown, IMO. College baseball fans knew about them and were known to be a legit team. Also known to be an up and comer. They had a great season from the start with really good talent all over the field.

Fresno State was a preseason top 25 team but they weren't even close to one during the season. They weren't very good at all the whole season and only made the tourney because of winning their conference tourney. They then went on to scratch through the regionals and supers away from home and lost a game in each. Then did the same in the CWS. They had no business making the tourney, much less winning the National Championship but they pulled it off.

Fresno State was underdogs in every single game they played during the postseason. Coastal Carolina wasn't underdogs like Fresno State. This is all just my opinion but I don't see Coastal as near the Cinderella as Fresno State.
