Oregon State wins 2018 College World Series championship

Oregon State wins the College World Series

After six elimination game wins, Oregon State has done the improbable. The Beavers are 2018 College World Series champions.

Oregon State rode the record-breaking performance from freshman pitcher Kevin Abel in a 5-0 win over Arkansas in Game 3. Abel threw a complete game shutout and retired the last 20 hitters he faced. It was the first complete game shutout where a pitcher allowed two hits or less in CWS history.

Catcher Adley Rutschman was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after he set a CWS record with 17 hits, to go along with 13 RBIs.

The Beavers became the 10th team in history to win the CWS title after losing their opening game, and just the fifth to win the championship after losing Game 1 of the best-of-three finals. This was Oregon State's third national championship after it won back-to-back in titles in 2006 and 2007.
