OMAHA, Neb. -- A close play at the plate went against them. Their second baseman committed two errors on one play, leading to four runs. Their starting catcher left with an injury after the seventh inning.Yet the Arizona Wildcats had runners on second and third with two outs in a one-run game in the bottom of the ninth inning.Thats where their surprising run to the College World Series championship game ended, with a 4-3 loss to Coastal Carolina on Thursday.Extremely sad right now, first-year coach Jay Johnson said. This is a national championship-caliber group that we had. They proved it for 73 games. Im very disappointed that I dont get to coach them anymore. Were a very tight group, and well get through it together. It stings pretty bad right now.Coastal Carolina (55-18) took the best-of-three finals to become the first team since Minnesota in 1956 to win the title in its first CWS appearance. Arizona (49-24) was trying for its second national title since 2012.Arizona came up just short in a season in which it was picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12 and after missing the NCAA Tournament the previous three years.Amazing season, and theyre a deserving champion, Johnson said. We played as good as we possibly could this year, and theyre the best team weve played, in my opinion.The Wildcats first two batters in the bottom of the ninth reached base against Alex Cunningham, and Zach Gibbons sacrifice fly made it a one-run game with two outs. Ryan Aguilar then doubled into the left-field corner, but Cody Ramer was held at third because Anthony Marks was able to get the ball back to the infield so quickly.Thats the play of the season in college baseball, Johnson said. We play aggressively, but Cody would have been out by 100 feet -- and I know its only 90 feet. I cant believe the play that was made.Ryan Haug, who replaced injured catcher Cesar Salazar in the eighth inning, struck out to end the game.Arizona thought it had scored in the third after Ramer sent a liner into right field that got under Connor Owings glove and rolled to the wall. Ramer made it to third on the two-base error. Gibbons then hit a comebacker to Andrew Beckwith, who went home as Ramer tried to score. After catching Beckwiths wide throw, catcher David Parrett reached back to put the tag on Ramer, who was called out by umpire Joe Burleson on an extremely close play.Im guessing if Joe is umpiring the home plate in the national championship game, hes the best umpire in the country. I hope thats what the criteria is, Johnson said. And he said he tagged him.Arizona, which came into the day with just two errors in seven CWS games, saw Ramer commit two on the same play in the sixth inning. Ramer couldnt get a handle on a grounder, allowing Parrett to score from third. Then Ramer tried to get Michael Paez running from second to third, but he overthrew Kyle Lewis. That allowed Paez to come home. G.K. Young then launched a no-doubt homer into the seats above the right-field bullpen for a 4-0 lead.They picked me up for every mistake I made, Ramer said, and I was hoping we were going to pull through.Arizonas Bobby Dalbec (11-6) worked 5 2/3 innings, striking out eight to increase his CWS total to 26 in 20 2/3 innings.It was a tough (sixth) inning. That kind of happens, Dalbec said. Middle innings will win and lose ballgames, and they lost this one today.Andrew Beckwith (15-1), the national leader in wins, went 5 2/3 innings after pitching two complete games and picked up his third victory of the CWS. He was named the Most Outstanding Player.Cunningham earned his first save, striking out Haug with a full-count fastball to end the game after Arizona had pulled within one in the bottom of the ninth.When Haug swung and missed, Cunningham turned to his dugout, beat his chest with his fist three times and saluted before flipping his glove away to start the celebration.The running joke is that in high school I lost the state championship three times in a row. I was not going to lose this one, I promise you that, Cunningham said.ARIZONA CATCHER HURTSalazar left the game at the end of the seventh inning after getting hit on the top of his head by Paezs bat on a swing-and-miss strike three. Salazar briefly lay face down and was tended to by an athletic trainer. He walked off under his own power and was replaced by Haug.COME ONE, COME ALLBecause of the noon start time on a weekday -- caused by the rain-and-lightning postponement Wednesday night -- people attending the U.S. Olympic swim trials across the street at CenturyLink Center were admitted for free to the outfield seats.

England 297 (Ballance 70, Moeen 63, Sohail 5-96) v PakistanScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsSohail Khan made a significant impact on his return to Test cricket after a gap of nearly five years as England were forced to dig deep for something close to parity on the opening day at Edgbaston. Sohail, recalled in place of Wahab Riaz, took 5 for 96 while half-centuries for Gary Ballance and Moeen Ali provided much-needed stability for England who ended with 297.Sohails presence in the attack meant it was the first time Pakistan had fielded a right-arm seamer in the series. He had two previous Tests, the last of them against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in 2011, with his sole Test wicket prior to this match being Tatenda Taibu and an average that stood at 245. By tea, he had four of Englands top order including the in-form Joe Root, having twice claimed a brace in hardworking eight-over spells during the first two sessions, and clinched a deserved five-for when he pinned James Anderson lbw with what became the last ball of the day - and he still had the energy for nine celebratory push-ups.For a day, at least, Pakistans response to their Old Trafford drubbing was encouraging as they did enough to just about vindicate Misbah-ul-Haqs somewhat surprising decision to bowl first. Not surprising so much in terms of recent evidence at the ground - no side has won batting first since the Ashes Test of 2005 - but because it meant his trump card, Yasir Shah, would not have the chance to bowl in the fourth innings.Englands batting never took a stranglehold on the day as they had in Manchester, slipping to 73 for 3 in the morning session, 158 for 5 before tea and 244 for 7 in the evening before the second new ball cleaned up the innings. However, Ballance showed the value of substance over style with his first half-century since his return and Moeen, playing on the ground where his county career began, and back at No. 7 due to Ben Stokes injury, produced his second important innings of the season after a century against Sri Lanka.Rahat Ali chipped in with the wicket of Alastair Cook for 45 after the England captain had played fluently and Yasir, while not offering a major threat on a first-day pitch, removed Ballance with one that turned and took a thin edge down the leg side during a 25-over stint from the Birmingham End which offered the element of control missing at Old Trafford.After Misbahs decision to insert England on an overcast morning and following heavy rain in the lead-up to the match, the early overs were not entirely promising as Cook and Hales skipped out of the blocks, but after the opening half an hour Pakistans bowlers tightened their lines and the rewards came. Sohail found Hales outside edge having beaten him the ball before, continuing Hales lean series which now reads 73 runs in five innings.If Pakistan were pleased by that success, they were positively ecstatic a short while later when Root, who made 325 runs over two innings at Old Trafford, edged to first slip as he tried to force Sohail off the back foot.dddddddddddd He was safely held by Mohammad Hafeez - who is playing his 50th Test - which is not something that can always be said.Cook looked in good order, except for when he almost inside-edged into his stumps against Rahat, timing the ball sweetly off front and back foot as he moved along at close to a run-a-ball. However, Rahat then got one to nip back and strike Cook in front of off stump; the captains use of DRS was more in hope that expectation.Given that Ballance and James Vince are playing to secure their places, they counter-punched impressively either side of lunch as Pakistans bowlers offered up a liberal supply of loose deliveries between the threatening ones.Vince appeared to be making a conscious effort to leave outside off, although still could not resist one flowing square drive and almost edged another in what has become familiar style this season. The wicket ball, which followed a spell of three maidens in four overs, was fairly innocuous and came somewhat against the run of play with Sohail appearing to have a few issues with his run up. A back-of-a-length delivery brought a half-hearted prod from Vince and although the batsman initially stood his ground - with Younis Khan also stating he was not sure over the catch - this was a rare occasion of TV pictures going in favour of the fielding side.As ever, Jonny Bairstow bristled with intent as he began his innings - depositing Yasir down the ground with a meaty club - but his golden touch deserted him when his eyes lit up at a short, wide delivery and he top-edged to Sarfraz Ahmed.Ballance, who has looked reasonably solid since his recall at the start of the series, but has not converted into a substantial score, played some punchy drives and, having gone to tea on 49 during a period where Pakistan dried up the scoring, brought up his fifty off 113 deliveries. As at Lords, his dismissal came in part from getting too far across at Yasir when the ball gripped from outside off stump.Moeen, averaging a touch under a 80 at No. 7 thanks to his unbeaten 155 against Sri Lanka at Chester-le-Street, was becalmed for the early stages of his innings. His first boundary, though, was an expansive cover drive which was followed by an even better back-foot stroke against Sohail. On 44, he saved himself with the DRS after being given caught at short leg sweeping at Yasir before reaching fifty with a flamboyant, one-legged pull through midwicket.The new-ball prevented the lower order from doing much damage, however, as Stuart Broad flashed an edge to third slip the first delivery Mohammad Amir had it in his hands then Moeen nicked an expansive drive to give Sarfraz his fifth catch of the innings. This has the makings of an absorbing contest. ' ' '
