UConn's run at a berth in the College World Series ended in an 8-2 loss to South Carolina on Sunday night.

Here are the details from Columbia, S.C.:

Defending national champion South Carolina is heading back to the College World Series.
Christian Walker homered in the eighth inning broke a 2-all tie and the Gamecocks turned three straight inning-ending double plays to defeat Connecticut 8-2 and sweep the NCAA Super Regional on Sunday night.
South Carolina put the game away with a five-run ninth, clinching its second consecutive trip to Omaha, Neb., and fifth since 2002. It was the Gamecocks’ 11th straight NCAA tournament win, a streak that started last year at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.
The Huskies (45-20-1) led 2-0 entering the fourth and had several chances to extend the lead but could not cash in against South Carolina (50-14), stranding eight runners and closing the fifth, sixth and seventh innings with double plays.
Gamecocks closer Matt Price got the final six outs for his 18th save and third of the NCAA tournament.
Price threw his arms high in the air when Connecticut second baseman LJ Mazzilli struck out to end the game, and catcher Robert Beary tackled him to the ground before the rest of the team piled on in celebration. The sellout crowd of 8,242 cheered and screamed as The Counting Crows song, “Omaha,” played on the PA system at Carolina Stadium.
John Taylor (6-1) was the fourth of five South Carolina pitchers, inducing the double play that ended the seventh, and picked up the win. Greg Nappo (10-3), who last week pitched UConn to its Clemson Regional clincher, held on as long as he could until surrendering Walker’s 10th homer of the season.
It’s the second straight year Walker’s home sent South Carolina to the CWS. He hit a three-run blast in the ninth inning of the Gamecocks 10-9 comeback win to beat Coastal Carolina.
Connecticut came apart after an early lead in Saturday night’s 5-1 loss. But the Huskies tapped into the resolved formed in last week’s Clemson Regional when they dropped the opening game, then rallied to victory, including consecutive wins at Doug Kingsmore Stadium against the favored Tigers.
The Huskies again started quickly, shortstop Nick Ahmed starting a string of four straight two-out singles in the second that put UConn ahead 2-0.
But just like Game 1, the Gamecocks rallied back. Jake Williams RBI double in the fourth brought in Brady Thomas. Two innings later, Robert Beary’s single to center brought in Adrian Morales.
Connecticut had its chances to put some distance between itself and the Gamecocks with runners on in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. South Carolina escaped each time with a double play.
The Huskies best chance came in the sixth when they loaded the bases with one out. But Doug Elliot tapped the ball back to Taylor, who started a 1-2-3 double play to end the threat.
South Carolina looked like it, too, might put things away after Walker’s homer led off the eighth. But center fielder George Springer, the Houston Astros first-round draft pick last Monday night, made a tumbling, running grab near the fence on Steven Neff’s fly ball with the bases loaded to keep Connecticut down a run.
The Gamecocks broke the game open with the five-run ninth, the big hit Peter Mooney’s two-run double.
The Huskies were in the program’s first Super Regional series. They last went to the College World Series in 1979.
