Coastal Carolina broke open a tie game with three runs in the eighth inning and the Chanticleers opened the College World Series with a 7-4 victory Friday.

Coastal Carolina opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second inning. First baseman Colby Thorndyke led off with a first-pitch single to center field. Right fielder Blagen Pado followed with a single to left field that moved Thorndyke to second base.
