Excitement is brewing on the baseball field this week as our hometown Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina University played host to the Conway Regional of the Division 1 College Baseball World Series for the second year in a row, and advanced to this weekend's Super Regional after defeating Columbia University, the University of Alabama and East Carolina University.  This achievement marks the first time that the "Chants" have reached the final 16 of NCAA baseball.

We were excited to get in on the action as we hosted the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team for the weekend.  While The Caravelle Resort has long been a supporter of the "Chants" and the CCU athletic program, we have to admit that we found ourselves pulling for our talented guests a little bit.  In the end, the Chants pulled out a spectacular come from behind victory over the Crimson Tide in the semi finals.

In 2007, we were fortunate to host the Redmen of St. John's University for the College World Series regional, and in spite of Alabama's loss in the 2008 World Series, we were proud to have hosted such a fine group of student athletes.
