1987 College World Series
Stanford over Oklahoma State at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Stanford won the 1987 College World Series, beating Oklahoma State in the final, under Mark Marquess. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The first of 2 for Stanford. The next came in 1988. Oklahoma State had already won one, most recently in 1959, and has not won one since.
Jack McDowell ends the streak. Stanford's McDowell held Robin Ventura hitless in four at bats, ending a 58-game hitting streak that still stands as the Division I record.
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.
