OMAHA, Neb. -- With the college baseball season down to one game and Coastal Carolina involved, its a safe bet that if the Chanticleers forge an important rally Wednesday night in the championship game of the College World Series finals, Anthony Marks will fit smack in the middle of it.Hes a human spark plug, man, second baseman Tyler Chadwick said after CCU evened the best-of-three series Tuesday night with a 5-4 win over Arizona at TD Ameritrade Park.Marks, the bearded, arm-thrusting, undersized, cartoon-like senior left fielder, did it all from the leadoff spot. His one-out single in the third inning plated the Chanticleers first two runs, and Marks ignited a three-run rally in the top of the eighth with his third hit.This is just what he does.Marks is hitting a team-best .393 (11-for-28) in Omaha with a .469 on-base percentage.He sparked a ninth-inning rally to beat North Carolina State in regional play and another to win the super regional at LSU in walk-off style.Were not done yet, Marks said. You want to bring home what you came here for.Marks came to Coastal Carolina in 2012 as a walk-on from Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. He had scholarship offers from Point Park, an NAIA school, and Division III Washington & Jefferson College.His connection to CCU came through Jeff Rubinsak, Marks summer-league coach who played for the Chanticleers Gary Gilmore at South Carolina-Aiken in the early 1990s.I went to a camp after my senior year, Marks said, and Coach Gilmore said he liked my speed. He said I would have a jersey and a chance to prove I could play at this level.Hes given me countless opportunities that I can never repay him for. The stuff that hes done for me and the chances hes given me and believed in me, it really warms my heart for sure. I owe him a lot.Marks teammates recall meeting him four years ago. He wore basketball gear to a baseball workout.His swing was god-awful, Chadwick said. But as soon as we started playing the game, he had the biggest chip on his shoulder that Ive ever seen. He plays like I would expect of someone from Pittsburgh -- just blue-collar like hes fighting against the whole world.Gilmore, in his 21st year at Coastal, said he often felt the need to save Marks from himself. He struggled with discipline, on and off the field.There were a lot of things that he went through, Gilmore said, that he had to grow through. Ultimately, all that energy and passion that he was misdirecting at times, he learned to focus in his schoolwork and learned to focus.Marks said he credits teammates Chadwick, Mike Morrison, Connor Owings and Zach Remillard for treating him like a little brother.Before they exited the first-base dugout Tuesday night, Marks and Morrison, the CCU closer who threw 6 2/3 innings in his first start of the season, shared a hug and a few words.Ive grown to love him like my brother, Morrison said. The growing up hes done over four years in unbelievable.Marks lives with pitcher Cole Schaefer, star shortstop Michael Paez and Andrew Beckwith, the Chanticleers ace right-hander with a nation-leading 14 wins whos likely to start Game 3 against Arizona (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).They share the Baseball House, an off-campus dwelling long occupied by Chanticleers -- where teammates shoot pool and form tight bonds.On May 20, Marks, in his 545th collegiate at-bat, hit the first home run of his life -- college, high school or youth baseball -- in a home victory over Campbell. Chadwick described the dugout as pandemonium after the ball cleared the right-center field wall.Utter shock and joy and amusement, Chadwick said. I fell over the railing because I jumped so high.All these shared experiences led them to Wednesday night.Coastal Carolina has defied elimination five times this month. In the past two wins, Marks collected six hits in eight at-bats. His 10 walks and .410 on-base percentage are the Chanticleers top marks in the NCAA postseason.So if he appears in a huge moment, with the national championship at stake, Marks figures to feel right at home. No matter how far he has progressed, he remains the 5-foot-7 kid from Pittsburgh with a chip on his shoulder.Hes so much fun to play with, Chadwick said. He wants to prove to the whole world that hes here and that hes a great player.No better opportunity exists than this. Cheap Shoes Discount .

Charlie Edwards is weaving his way through British holidaymakers in Spain still on a night out during his early morning runs.Edwards, 23, insists he never has a longing to experience the nightlife on offer himself where he trains in Marbella ahead of his first world title shot on September 10.The Briton is fiercely ambitious, which explains why he has taken a shot at global glory in only his ninth professional fight.But Edwards (8-0, 3 KOs) believes challenging IBF flyweight champion John Riel Casimero (22-3, 14 KOs) at the O2 Arena in London is only the first step towards making him one of his countrys biggest boxing stars.In the early runs along the beach I see people still on sessions and I think what sort of a life is that, Edwards told ESPN. I know they are on holiday but its not the sort of life I want. I would rather be doing these runs and bettering my life.I moved out here to Marbella in March and have been living on and off here since September.The weather is nice and that helps motivate you to do your training. The gym out here is brilliant, its got all I need, and its close to where I live. All the stress is taken away from me and there are no distractions.

Gonzalez is No 1 in ESPNs flyweight and pound-for-pound rankings, but that does not dissuade Edwards.The money and big fights are there for me with people like Gonzalez in the division, Edwards said. But its not all about the money for me. Look at the likes of Manny Pacquiao who moved up through the weights and I would love to win world titles at a few weights. Pacquiao was the same height as me and started at flyweight. Im a big flyweight and Im not going to be staying at flyweight for a long time.If I win this world title Im not going to be waiting around for a long time. Im big for flyweight and I want to move up so I want to fight the best people like Gonzalez. Hes fighting on the same night as me and after I win the IBF title I will call it because I want the unification fights. Gonzalez is the pound for pound king without a shadow of doubt, but I want the big fights and I want to be a boxing great. ' ' '
