An improbable dream fulfilled in one unforgettable season

In 2016, a Conway, South Carolina, mid-major baseball team that had once played on borrowed fields and traveled in hand-me-down vans shocked the college baseball world. Veteran head coach Gary Gilmore, who had spent two decades building the program into a national power, led the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to capture their first College World Series title in dramatic fashion.

At the heart of that victory were players like G. K. Young, a Conway native and lightly recruited power hitter, whose towering home run in the deciding game ensured victory and completed Coastal Carolina's improbable run to the top. Alongside teammates like shortstop Michael Paez and ace pitcher Andrew Beckwith, Young embodied the grit and determination that defined Gilmore's program.

In Tenacious and True, gifted storyteller Scott Pleasant recounts that unforgettable season, capturing the voices of the players, coaches, and devoted fans who made it happen. He brings readers into the dugout with a tale of persistence, pride, and what it means to belong to a team--and a town.

Scott Pleasant is director of the writing center at Coastal Carolina University and coauthor of Lines of Scrimmage: A Story of Football, Race, and Redemption.
