Gourt Home::Gourt :: 2006 College World Series
The 2006 College World Series was held June 16-26 in Omaha, Nebraska; it was the 60th College World Series and the 57th series held in Omaha. Eight NCAA Division I college baseball teams met after having advanced through a 64-team bracket to play at historic Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. The official host for the event was nearby Creighton University.
After Super Regional Competition, the second step on the "Road to Omaha", the field of eight was set. Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Cal State Fullerton, Oregon State, Rice, Georgia, and Miami all won their super-regionals and made the trip to the 2006 College World Series. Five national seeds advanced to Omaha: Clemson (1), Rice (2), Cal State Fullerton (5), Georgia (7), and Georgia Tech (8). Third-seeded Texas and sixth-seeded Nebraska both fell in the Regionals, while the fourth seed Alabama dropped out in Super Regional play.
The first pitch of the 2006 College World Series was Friday, June 16, at 1:00 PM CDT (18:00 UTC). The National Championship Games, a best-of-three series featuring Oregon State and North Carolina (the winners of the two CWS brackets), started Saturday, June 24, at 6:00 PM CDT (24:00 UTC); Game 1 was won by North Carolina 4-3, and Game 2 was won by Oregon State 11-7, thus necessitating Game 3. Oregon State won the deciding game 3-2, winning the school's first national title ever in that sport. All games were televised on ESPN and ESPN2.
OSU pitcher Jonah Nickerson was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
