Check out how the internet reacted to CCU’s national championship
The Coastal Carolina baseball team defeated Arizona, 4-3, on Thursday to win the College World Series. The Chanticleers are the first team to win the CWS in its debut since Minnesota in 1956. The Chants scored four runs in the sixth after a pair of Arizona errors and a G.K. Young home run.
That’s the logistics.
How did the internet react?
Well, people were excited.
In particular, the Clemson football team was excited.
