The final game at Rosenblatt will produce a first time champion

Neither UCLA nor South Carolina has ever won a College World Series title, so Rosenblatt Stadium’s last game will feature a first-time national champion.
In fact, UCLA had never won a game here before this year, going 0-2 in its two previous appearances (in 1969 and 1997). Since 1956, only three teams — Cal State Fullerton (1979), Georgia (1990) and Oregon State (2006) — have won the championship without previously winning a game here. UCLA is bidding to join them – as well as 16 other Bruins sports that have combined to win 106 national titles.
