The College World Series began Friday afternoon in Omaha, Neb. with Coastal Carolina beating Arizona, 7-4. The Chanticleers and the Wildcats were the first of eight teams to take the field at the prestigious event, and the experience of Omaha reverberated with multiple members of the Tampa Bay Rays, who spoke before Friday’s game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Before Kevin Cash became the manager of the Rays, and before he had an eight-year big-league career, he was a player at Florida State who helped the Seminoles get to Omaha twice.
