Coastal Carolina starter Jacob Morrison yelled emphatically and pumped his fist after firing a 95 mph fastball past Oregon State’s Gavin Turley for a strikeout to end the sixth inning.

It was that kind of day for the Beavers at the Men’s College World Series. No. 8 seed Oregon State mustered just five hits and one run against the Chanticleers’ ace, ultimately falling 6-2 at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.

Morrison tossed 7 2/3 stellar innings, improved to 12-0 and helped No. 13 seed Coastal Carolina cruise to its 25th consecutive win, leaving the Chanticleers one victory away from advancing to the MCWS finals. Meanwhile, Oregon State (48-15-1) drops into an elimination game against Louisville at 11 a.m. Tuesday. The winner of that game will face Coastal Carolina at 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Oregon State outhit Coastal Carolina 7-5, but the Beavers’ defensive miscues proved costly.

Coastal Carolina (55-11) jumped out to a three-run lead in the top of the first inning, getting some early help from an Aiva Arquette throwing error plus a walk and a hit batsman by Beavers starter Ethan Kleinschmit. That loaded the bases, and Colby Thorndyke cleared them with a one-out double to right-center.

Easton Talt belted a solo homer to right field in the bottom of the third that cut Coastal Carolina’s lead to 3-1. Arquette and Turley nearly homered in the inning as well, but both drives were caught at the warning track.

Coastal Carolina answered with two more runs in the fourth, again aided by Oregon State miscues. AJ Singer’s fielding error allowed one run, and a Kleinschmit wild pitch led to the other. The Chanticleers made it 6-1 in the fifth when Dean Mihos doubled to left-center to score Thorndyke.

Meanwhile, the Beavers went down in order across the fourth through seventh innings. They threatened in the eighth but couldn’t scratch out a run after getting runners on the corners with two outs.

In the ninth, Turley led off with a solo home run to left, and it appeared the Beavers might put together a rally. Oregon State got runners on first and second with two outs, but then Canon Reeder struck out swinging to end the game.

Kleinschimit (8-5), who took the loss, was charged with six runs (two earned) to go with seven strikeouts and three walks across 4 2/3 innings. Ryan Lynch got the last out for the Chanticleers to pick up his ninth save of the season.

Oregon State will face the same Louisville team it beat 4-3 to open the MCWS on Friday. The Cardinals (41-23) rallied to beat Arizona 8-3 on Sunday and eliminate the Wildcats.
