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.

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.
