1947 College World Series
California over Yale at Hyames Field.
What happened. California won the 1947 College World Series, beating Yale in the final, under Clint Evans. It was played at Hyames Field, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Where it sits. The first of 2 for California. The next came in 1957. Yale has never won one. Reaching the final is as close as that program has come.
What the tournament looked like that year. Eight teams, two single elimination playoffs, and a best-of-three final. That format ran in 1947 only.
The ballpark. The first two, and Yale lost both of them with George H. W. Bush at first base.
