Another amazing finish for the Beavers!

It was supposed to be a "rebuilding year".( They lost almost all of last year's starting players to graduation or the draft).

They struggled in conference play during the season going 10-14. (And thus become the first team to win the national championship with a losing conference record.)

They almost didn't make the play-offs at all, being the last team picked.

And yet, once they reached the College World Series, they took it all without losing a single game.

Way to go Beavs!
