The College World Series Format

The College World Series (CWS) is an annual Baseball Tournament held to determine the NCAA Division I Collegiate Baseball champion. The eight participating teams are split into two, four-team brackets with each team playing the other three in their bracket. The winners of each bracket then play each other in a best-of-three series to determine the CWS champion. The losing teams from each bracket then play a consolation game, also known as the “if necessary” game, to determine which team will finish in third place overall.

Texas Tech’s College World Series History

Texas Tech’s College World Series History

Texas Tech University has a long and storied history in the College World Series dating back to their first appearance in 1953. Since then, the Red Raiders have made 14 appearances in the CWS, including three trips to the Finals (1958, 1984, and 2014). In total, Texas Tech has won 23 CWS games, good for ninth all-time. Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Texas Tech’s College World Series history.

1958: The First Final
Texas Tech made it back to Omaha in 1958 and this time they made some noise. The Red Raiders won their first four games, including an 8-3 victory over USC in the semifinals. Unfortunately, they ran into a buzzsaw in the form of Cal State Los Angeles in the Finals, losing 9-0 and 10-1 to finish as runners-up.

1984: Back to the Finals
After 26 years without a return trip to Omaha, Texas Tech made it back in style in 1984. The Red Raiders went 5-0 in Omaha, including another win over USC in the semifinals. This time they faced Arizona State in the Finals and despite losing Game 1, came back to win Games 2 and 3 by scores of 6-3 and 5-2 respectively to claim their first ever College World Series championship!

2014: The Third Final
Texas Tech’s most recent trip to Omaha came in 2014 and it was another successful one. The Red Raiders went 4-1 in Omaha, with their only loss coming at the hands of UC Irvine in the semifinals. They rebounded nicely from that loss though, winning 7-4 over Vanderbilt in an elimination game and then drubbing Ole Miss 10-4 in Game 3 of the finals to finish as national runners-up for the second time in school history.
