The Auburn Tigers and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers delivered a baseball thriller in the 2025 NCAA Super Regional, but the result left Plainsman Park stunned and the Chanticleers celebrating.
Coastal Carolina, ranked No., edged No. Auburn in a dramatic 7-6 victory in innings, extending their winning streak to 22 games and putting them one win away from the College World Series. The game was a rollercoaster: Auburn overcame a five-run deficit, but Coastal’s power at the plate proved decisive. Caden Bodine smashed two home runs, including the go-ahead shot in the 10th inning that broke a 6-6 tie and ultimately sealed the win for the Chanticleers.
Blagen Pado was another standout for Coastal Carolina, launching two home runs and driving in four runs. Auburn fought back with late-inning heroics, including Eric Snow’s game-tying homer in the seventh, but the Tigers couldn’t capitalize on late opportunities, stranding runners in scoring position in both the ninth and tenth innings..
The win capped a night of high drama, including a nearly two-hour lightning delay and a record crowd of,891. With this victory, Coastal Carolina swept the Super Regional, clinching a return trip to Omaha and the Men’s College World Series for just the second time in program history.
Auburn’s season ends in heartbreak, while Coastal Carolina continues its remarkable postseason run.
