1970 College World Series
Southern California over Florida State at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Southern California won the 1970 College World Series, beating Florida State in the final, under Rod Dedeaux. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The 6th of 12 for Southern California. Their second in 2 years, so this was a program at the top of the sport rather than a program having a season. Florida State has never won one. Reaching the final is as close as that program has come.
Fifteen innings, and a dynasty starts. USC 2, Florida State 1. The first of five straight titles.
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.
