Coastal Carolina Coaches Ejected in Fiery First Inning of CWS Finals Game 2
What a wild and unexpected start to Game 2 of the NCAA College World Series Finals! If you were watching the showdown between Coastal Carolina and LSU, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Emotions were high, the stakes even higher, and things escalated quickly in Omaha on Sunday.
Just moments into the first inning, Coastal Carolina’s head coach Kevin Schnall found himself in a heated dispute with the home plate umpire, Angel Campos. The cause? Balls and strikes. Schnall, clearly frustrated, came out of the dugout and could be seen holding up three fingers—arguing the count with Campos. What started as a verbal back-and-forth quickly turned explosive. Campos didn’t hesitate—he tossed Schnall right out of the game.

But that wasn’t the end of it.
First base coach Matt Schilling also got ejected during the same sequence. It’s rare to see one coach get ejected in the first inning of such a massive game—let alone two. According to ESPN, Schnall had already received a warning before stepping out of the dugout to continue his protest. That move sealed his fate, and Schilling’s too.
As if that wasn’t enough drama, the NCAA handed down a two-game suspension to both coaches, meaning even if Coastal Carolina wins Game 2 and forces a decisive Game 3, Schnall and Schilling won’t be allowed anywhere near the dugout. That’s a crushing blow for a team in the middle of a national title run. Associate head coach Chad Oxendine had to take the reins for the remainder of the game.
This incident has sparked conversations about umpiring consistency, coaching conduct, and the intense pressure of championship baseball. For Coastal fans, it’s a mix of disbelief and frustration. For LSU supporters, it was an unexpected momentum shift in an already tightly contested series.
Whether you agree with the call or not, one thing’s for sure—Game 2 will be remembered not just for the plays on the field, but for the fireworks in the dugout.
