CORVALLIS Ore.
A fan hoisted a sign that said it all: Sweet Repeat.
Oregon State’s baseball team returned home on Monday after winning its second straight College World Series. The Beavers were greeted by some six thousand fans who gathered on campus.
“How sweet it is,” catcher Mitch Canham said. “How sweet it is.”
The Beavers swept North Carolina to become the first team since LSU in 1996-97 to repeat.
Oregon State (49-18) was so dominant, the team trailed only one of 45 innings at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.
Things didn’t look as positive for the Beavers late this season, when they had lost seven of nine games and were looking at the possibility that they wouldn’t get selected for the tournament.
