College Baseball Poll - Collegiate Baseball Newspaper PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release: Tuesday (June 27, 2006) OREGON ST. NO. 1 IN COLLEGIATE BASEBALL NEWSPAPER POLL TUCSON, Ariz. — Oregon St. (50-16) finished first in the final Collegiate Baseball poll of NCAA Division I baseball after capturing the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. for the first time in history. The Beavers, ranked No. 3 in the Collegiate Baseball pre-season poll last December, rose as high as second in the nation during the season. But OSU was never at the top of the poll until capturing the College World Series in dramatic fashion. After starting the CWS with an 11-1 loss to Miami, the Beavers were forced to win four elimination games to capture their bracket. Then in the best of three championship series against North Carolina, Oregon St. promptly lost its first game, 4-3 which forced the Beavers to have its backs to the wall once again. But OSU won game two, 11-7 and then captured the deciding game, 3-2. In the process, Oregon St. became the first team from the Northwest portion of the USA to capture the College World Series which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. The Collegiate Baseball Newspaper poll is the oldest college baseball poll. Its birth took place during the 1957 college baseball season. (Top 30 Agate Follows)
