The local Beavers have done it again. In the first CWS Finals rematch since 1972 & 1973, the Oregon State Beavers beat the North Carolina Tarheels 9-3 to win the 2007 College World Series. The Beav's became the first team to win back-to-back champs since LSU did it 10 years ago. After a rough stretch of conference games in May, OSU dropped below .500 in conference play and almost didn't make the 64 team tournament. Once in the tourney however, the Beav's made the most of it, finishing their season with 10 straight wins. OSU dominated at the finals in Omaha, trailing for only 1 inning in their 5 games played after UNC scored in the first yesterday. The lead didn't last long for the Tarheels as the Beavers put up 3 in the second behind shortstop Darwin Barney's 2 run homer. OSU never looked back, stifling every rally UNC started and limiting them to just 2 more runs.
