Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, Feb. 12-18: Coastal Carolina

Coastal Carolina (3-0 for the week)
(beat Virginia Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas State)

For the past several seasons Coastal Carolina has hosted a series of weekend round-robin style tournaments in February and March. More often than not, coach Gary Gilmore's squad has been a less-than-gracious host, winning the majority of its games.

This week the Chanticleers opened the season with the Baseball at the Beach Tournament. After a 17-2 rout of Virginia Tech on Friday, Coastal followed with 10-inning walk-off 4-3 victories over Oklahoma and Kansas State.  The tournament ends Monday with Coastal's game against Indiana.
