1968 College World Series
Southern California over Southern Illinois at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Southern California won the 1968 College World Series, beating Southern Illinois in the final, under Rod Dedeaux. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The 5th of 12 for Southern California. Their previous title was 5 years earlier, in 1963. Southern Illinois 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.
