The Chanticleers have enjoyed a charmed spell as of late, vanquishing 24 straight foes en route to a second appearance in the College World Series. Their latest win proved dramatic — after locking horns with Arizona for the better part of seven innings, Kevin Schnall's side burst things open with a three-run outburst in the eighth.

Colby Thorndyke clears the bases on a double to right field to give the Chanticleers an early 3-0 lead.
