Texas State seemed to come out of nowhere in 2017 as the Champions of the Gulf Coast.  They were selected as the at-large bid for the Gulf-Coast Regional then proceeded to win it in dominating fashion.  Coming into the World Series as the #7 seed, not much was expected out of them especially with their opening round match up against Colorado State.  The Bobcats made their voice heard early defeating CSU 6-0.  They ultimately lost their next two games, but were extremely competitive and showed they were a force to reckon with.  Will that be the same in 2018 or will another team take the crown?  Read the Gulf Coast Team Previews to form your opinion!
