South Carolina players, including the tournament's most outstanding player Scott Wingo, right, pose with the trophy after beating Florida 5-2 in Game 2 of the NCAA baseball College World Series best-of-three finals, to win the championship, in Omaha, Neb.

OMAHA, Neb. — South Carolina coach Ray Tanner didn’t go into the season expecting to win a second straight national championship.

His Gamecocks did that in record fashion, becoming the first team to go 10-0 in an NCAA tournament and the first since Oregon State in 2007 to go unbeaten in a CWS with Tuesday night’s 5-2 win that completed a two-game sweep of Florida.

“The statistics, the percentages of doing that are stacked against you,” Tanner said. “The only thing I kept holding onto was, ‘Let’s have a good team. Let’s have a good season. Let’s get to the postseason. Let’s get a chance to go to a regional.

“And then you try to do well when you get there.”

Oh, the Gamecocks did well, all right.

The Gamecocks (55-14) retooled their pitching staff, star center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. missed two months with a broken wrist and first baseman Christian Walker played through the same injury during the CWS finals.

Two of their five wins here came in walkoff fashion, and they worked out of bases-loaded situations four times over two games and had left fielder Jake Williams throw out a runner at the plate to prevent Florida from scoring the winning run in Game 1 of the finals.

By comparison, the clinching victory was downright boring.

Michael Roth pitched 7 2-3 innings on three days’ rest and the Gamecocks were in control throughout.

The Gamecocks have the distinction of winning the first CWS at TD Ameritrade Park after winning the last one played at Rosenblatt Stadium.

“Beginning of the year I said we finished at the old one, so let’s try to open the new one up,” said second baseman Scott Wingo, voted the CWS’ Most Outstanding Player. “Coach wasn’t sure we would get it, but I’m the type of guy who felt we were going to do it. I was thinking of the Oregon State team the whole year. I had a feeling we would get back and win this thing, and we did.”

South Carolina 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.

They became the sixth team to win consecutive national titles and first since Oregon State in 2006-07.
