The Beavers win their first College World Series, 3-2, after dropping the first game of the three-game series. The game was tied, 2-2, with two outs in the bottom of the 8th when North Carolina second baseman Bryan Steed threw a routine ground ball past the first baseman, allowing OSU to score what turned out to be the winning run. Kevin Gunderson came in with one out in the top of the 9th and runners on first and second and got the two outs necessary to give the Beavers the victory.
