1955 College World Series
Wake Forest over Western Michigan at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Wake Forest won the 1955 College World Series, beating Western Michigan in the final, under Taylor Sanford. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. Wake Forest has won the College World Series once, and this is it. Western Michigan has never won one. Reaching the final is as close as that program has come.
What the tournament looked like that year. Eight teams, one pure double elimination bracket. The classic Rosenblatt format. That format ran from 1950 through 1987.
The ballpark. Sixty-one tournaments. The reason Omaha means what it means.
