CONWAY, S.C. \u2013 Coastal Carolina dropped the series finale to Texas State, falling 10-6 on Sunday afternoon at Springs Brooks Stadium, but secured the Sun Belt Conference series win by taking two of three games over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Making his first start since Opening Day on February 13 against Fairfield, right-hander Cameron Flukey<\/a> was sharp in a limited outing. The sophomore tossed two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out four.<\/p>\n

The Chanticleers struck first, capitalizing on a fielding error by the Bobcats to score Dean Mihos<\/a> from third and take a 1-0 lead in the opening inning. However, Texas State responded in the third, as Jaquae Stewart connected for a two-out grand slam to swing the momentum in favor of the visitors.<\/p>\n

Coastal continued to battle back and found itself within striking distance late. Trailing 8-5 in the bottom of the eighth, Blake Barthol<\/a> launched a solo home run to right field, his fourth of the season, to cut the deficit to 8-6. The Chants were unable to get any closer, as Texas State added two insurance runs in the ninth, both via wild pitch.<\/p>\n

With the loss, Coastal Carolina moves to 30-12 overall and 17-4 in Sun Belt Conference play.<\/p>\n

The Chanticleers will return to action on Tuesday, traveling to Chapel Hill to take on No. 2 North Carolina. First pitch is set for 7 p.m. on ACC Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next Game: at North Carolina 4\/28\/2026 | 7 p.m. ACC Network WRXZ…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-267346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
