Tar Heels return to CWS final series
2007-06-21 18:48
by Bob Timmermann

Thanks to four home runs, North Carolina beat Rice 7-4 to advance to the championship series of the College World Series in Omaha. It will be a rematch of last year's final against Oregon State, which the Beavers took 2 games to 1.

Oregon State will try to become the first team to repeat as champion since LSU did it in 1996 and 1997. The last time the same two teams met in the final game in consecutive years was in 1972 and 1973 when USC defeated Arizona State both times. At that time, the entire tournament was double elimination and there was no championship series.

The other repeat champions in the CWS have been:

  • Texas, 1949-59 50
  • USC, 1970-74
  • Stanford, 1987-88

Repeat losers in the CWS final have been:

  • Yale, 1949-50 47-48
  • Arizona State, 1972-73
  • Texas, 1984-85
  • Stanford, 2000-01

O that Texas actually had a dynasty of those proportions.

Not only did I mess with Texas, I also erred on Yale.

That would be the Yale teams featuring first baseman George Bush (41). I understand Bush threw left but batted right, unusual.
