OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Michael Roth pitched 7 2-3 innings on three
days' rest, and South Carolina won its second straight national
championship with a 5-2 victory Tuesday night that completed a
two-game sweep over Florida in the College World Series finals.
South Carolina (55-14) became the first team to ever go 10-0 in
an NCAA tournament and the first since Oregon State in 2007 to go
unbeaten in a CWS.
The Gamecocks' streaks of 16 NCAA tournament wins and 11
straight in the CWS are both the longest all-time.
Peter Mooney doubled to start a three-run third inning and hit
the Gamecocks' first home run of the CWS in the sixth.
After giving up four runs in the first inning of their opener
against Texas A&M, the Gamecocks allowed just six in their other 50
innings here.
