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 when 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 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, Owings said, and the pitcher makes a great pitch up and in the top of the zone, I fist myself and 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 2/3 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 last 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. The Chanticleers best finish in any NCAA team championship was fifth in mens golf in 2007, when Dustin Johnson led the team.UP NEXTCoastal Carolina and Arizona play a winner-take-all title game Wednesday night.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins are going to start the regular season without one of their top players.Center Patrice Bergeron is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and did not make the trip Wednesday for the Bruins regular-season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.Bergeron was injured at the end of practice Tuesday, but the Bruins would not elaborate on the nature of the injury or how it occurred.Coach Claude Julien held out hope Bergeron could join the Bruins later in their season-opening road trip, which continues against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and ends against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.Its not a major injury; its minor, Julien said. But Im confident its going to be really short term.Bergeron has reached the 30-goal mark three times in his career and has won the Selke Trophy as the best defensive forward in the NHL three times. Last season, he led the Bruins with 68 points and was second on the team with 32 goals.Bergeron will be difficult to replace, but the Bruins are banking on their depth to overcome the loss.I think we spoke a little bit to our depth in camp and the tough decisions that we were forced with and our coaches and management were forced with. Theres so many capable players, forward David Backes said.And we geet to test that a little bit earlier than we hoped.dddddddddddd ... Well all have to pick up some of the load that he carries, which is a huge load for this team.Initially it appears Backes will carry a lot of that load. In practice Wednesday, Backes filled Bergerons spot at center between left wing Brad Marchand and right wing David Pastrnak.Marchand and Bergeron have been linemates almost exclusively since the 2010-11 season. So the new combination will take some getting used to. Bergeron has missed just 14 games in the past six seasons.Its disappointing having him not start (the season), but hopefully hell be back soon and it just means one of these other guys is going to have to step up and pull a little more weight, Marchand said.(Backes is) a great player and its nice to have the opportunity to play with him there, practice with him at least. Hopefully it goes well (Thursday).The Bruins also announced that defensemen Adam McQuaid also will not make the trip to Columbus because of an upper-body injury and is day to day. And defenseman Kevan Miller will be out six weeks after surgery for a fracture in his left hand on Tuesday. ' ' '
