Sorry about today GD but I think OSU has the upper hand.

I watched the middle part of that game and OSU looked good.

Well, Oregon St did it, they certainly played well down the stretch...here are some things from the AP that were said...

They say Oregon St is the first Northern team since Ohio St in 1966...I think that is wrong...is not Wichita St (CWS champs in 1989) a Northern Team?

Beavers' steady pitching clinches second straight title

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- The first title was hard for Oregon State. The repeat seemed easy.

Oregon State ended one of the most dominant runs in the 61-year history of the College World Series with a 9-3 victory over North Carolina on Sunday night. The Beavers became the first team in a decade to capture consecutive national titles.

They did it by winning all five of their CWS games, including a sweep of the Tar Heels in the best-of-three finals. The Beavers (49-18) trailed for only one of 45 innings they played in Omaha, and they became the first team to win four CWS games by at least six runs.

North Carolina (57-15) was runner-up for the second straight year after the first CWS finals rematch since Arizona State and USC met in 1973.

Oregon State is the first back-to-back champion since LSU in 1996-97 and the fifth overall.

To win last year's title, the Beavers had to stave off elimination in four straight games after losing their CWS opener 11-1 to Miami. Then they rebounded from a Game 1 loss in the finals to become the first true northern team since Ohio State in 1966 to win the championship.

There were plenty of trials this season after a 23-3 start. A May swoon left the Beavers in sixth place in the Pacific-10 Conference with a 10-14 league mark, and it nearly cost them a spot in the 64-team national tournament.

They got on a roll at regionals in Virginia and ended their season with 10 straight victories.

Oregon State became the first team since LSU in 1997 to repeat as College World Series champs.

The Beavers never trailed in any of their first four games at the CWS.

Texas (1949-50), Southern California (1970-74) and Stanford (1987-88) also won consecutive titles.
