A Look Back At The Action In Omaha….
The 2011 College World Series is in the books. South Carolina is again the national champion, giving the SEC three consecutive championships.
Collegebaseball360.com was lucky enough to have two photographers in Omaha during the CWS. Omaha’s Kirk Markus was there for nearly every game, while Dave Wolpert, who brought us action from the ACC during the regular season and ACC Tournament, was there for the CWS Finals as well.
