Amazing stat.

Since 1990, only four National Champs in baseball lost one of their first two games in Omaha. Every other winner started 2-0.

That's incredible.

We started 3-0 in 2013. Do the stats change much after 1999 or whenever the year was they did away with the single game winner take all format? I know Lstate feasted on that old format.

UCLA started 3-0 also. That's the thing about that stat. There have been times when both teams in the finals started 3-0

Yep, getting to 3-0 in the CWS has always guaranteed you a place in the title game/series. UCLA went 10-0 that year, in the NCAAT. And couldn't hit worth ****.

Agreed, to me the stat just shows how difficult it is to play through the losers bracket in Omaha.

Most teams just don't have enough arms to play that many games in a short time span. Florida may be one of the few schools who have the arms. We will see.
