USC's first title was when it was only a 16 team double elimination NCAA tourney before the CWS, which was only a 2 team DE series.
Titles 2 through 10 were after a 26 team regional where they had to beat 2 other teams to come to Omaha and was a 8 team DE tourney, no brackets no super regional. Also each of their regionals before the 80's only had between 2-4 teams while others had up to 7 teams in them.
In 1998 USC finally won a title they worked for since all the fields were equaled to 6 team regionals and 48 teams total.
USC has one only one title under the much more rigorous tournament system.
I guess the correct answer is "not yet". The Tigers made too many mental and physical mistakes and the pitching needs to be upgraded. Still, a giant step forward for the program this year.
Geaux Tigers- no shocker for App. State this year!
LSU won 5 NCAA titles in baseball in 17 seasons, the most recent in 2000. USC did that in and more, but aside from football and water polo (does that even count?), USC's greatness in men's sports basically ended in the 70's. What have you done for us lately? SEC rules, #1 all-time in NCAA titles, so shut up! By the way, why don't you quit paying your players and giving them cars and sh*# (Bush, Mayo, etc).
It was 5 in 10 years. 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 2000.
And the answer is what to the thread is what I thought it would be. No not yet. But with a ton of freshmen and another good recruiting class coming in the next couple of years look promising and Smoke Laval era is officially behind us.
Yes they are, in spite of their exit from the College World Series, and so are the Bulldogs of Fresno State, who have had good ongoing success. I hope Batesole name is one day mentioned in the same breath as Pete Beiden and Bob Bennet.
