CONWAY, S.C. (WMBF) - With nearly a week until opening day, Coastal Carolina’s baseball team will hit the diamond with high expectations. The Chanticleers were ranked third in the Sun Belt Conference’s annual preseason coaches poll that was released earlier this week. The Chants also netted two first-place votes.

South Alabama led 43-20 at halftime and by as many as 38 points in the second half before Coastal Carolina (8-16, 1-11) used an 18-0 run to get within 20 at 71-51 with 6:10 remaining. However, Corey hit back-to-back 3s for the Jaguars, who led comfortably the rest of the way.
