A wild and tumultuous postseason came to a close on Thursday as Coastal Carolina were crowned National Champions by winning the 2016 College World with a 4-3 win over Arizona. Coastal Carolina, who opened the year as PG's 21st ranked team, spent the entire season ranked within the Perfect Game/Rawlings Top 25.

All season long they proved they belonged in the conversation and were far from a fluke. During the regular season they beat fellow postseason participants including Virginia, Duke, Ohio State, UNC Wilmington and Stetson before sweeping their competition in the Big South Championship. They then knocked out a pair of Regional hosts in NC State and LSU before taking down Florida, Texas Tech, TCU, and of course, Arizona, in Omaha.

Stay tuned to Perfect Game over the coming days as we will release the Perfect Game/Rawlings Player, Pitcher, Freshman and Coach of the Year awards on Monday while looking ahead to the picks to click for the 2017 College World Series. Jheremy Brown will continue to provide recaps from the Cape Cod League, as well as exclusive features from the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League before we get to our unrivaled summer collegiate top prospect coverage.
