CONWAY, S.C. (WPDE) — Coastal Carolina University baseball fans are getting ready for Friday’s big game by hitting the stores and buying everything teal.

“I’m really excited to see Coastal play in Omaha! I’ve been turning on the sports game every chance I can get, and I’m here to buy a sports jersey,” Sullivan said.
