SOUTH CAROLINA wins 2010 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES!

Watch the winning extra-inning hit and the celebration!

= = = Needing one victory to win its first national championship in baseball, South Carolina rallied for a run to tie UCLA in the bottom of the eighth inning, and then won 2-1 on right fielder Whit Merrifield's RBI single in the 11th.

It was the first CWS championship game decided in extra innings since 1970 and seemed to pack as much drama into four hours, 15 minutes as any game played here during the past six decades.

folks, can't we hush and enjoy one of the greatest moments in the history of Gamecock athletics??

@scottabreitbarth Who was talking about UCLA? LOL, good defense, going to another topic, nice try.

[scottabreitbarth]

@EarnhardtJrFan4Life UCLA football? 50-0 is the only thing in my mind.

@EarnhardtJrFan4Life Well, if you could read, you might see that I said "yeah enjoy your history"... meaning that I realize Carolina isn't a traditional powerhouse (Neither is Clemson by ANY means BTW).. However, I'm still wondering why you're bringing up these statistics on a video featuring a sport that "isn't real." If baseball isn't a real sport, why do you feel the need to take time out of your day to comment on this video? By the way, an 11-2 team generally isn't considered "pathetic"...

[EarnhardtJrFan4Life]

@sumterspur21 Tell me 1 thing Carolina has done in the past 20 years in football.. 1 SEC title, yeah, stfu, please. As pathetic as your team is theres no reason you should be talking.

[sumterspur21]

@EarnhardtJrFan4Life I truly believe Clemson University fans have no common sense... yeah enjoy your history, meanwhile I'll take back to back national championships in baseball, an 11 win season in football while you guys are giving up basketball scores in the orange bowl... And oh yeah 34-17, 29-7, 34-13... Shut your mouth

South Carolina has raped Clemson in Football, basketball, and baseball. I think that makes us state champions

I don't get where people come off saying that anyone in "Gamecock Country" said South Carolina is the major sports college outlet in the state. I backtrack, and don't recall anybody saying that. I'm a Gamecocks fan, and I'm just happy they won two baseball championships. You don't see me trying to shove football points down any throats. But please, don't say baseball isn't a real sport. College football gets so much more attention than college baseball. Baseball's wonderful. Don't crap on it.
