2008 CWS: Final 3 outs from Fresno State's Cinderella run to national title

Watch the last three outs that clinched Fresno State's improbable 2008 College World Series title over Georgia. The “underdogs to wonderdogs” started as a No. 4 regional seed in the NCAA tournament.

I was 12 years old when I watched the Bulldogs' Cinderella run. My favorite moments were when Fresno State defeated #3 Arizona State in the Tempe Super Regional and when Fresno State won the National Championship.

Fresno State baseball alumni here. We went to the series in 1988 and were out in 2 (Stanford and Miami). You guys got it done and gave all us alum pride!! Congrats to coach and team and Bulldog fans!!!

I live in Fresno . This was amazing . I was in middle school at the time . The whole city was completely aware of this golden milestone.

They were the equivalent of a 12-seed (or worse) winning the NCAA basketball tournament

[@MattHalfhill]

worse. Fresno State was the very lowest ranked team in the NCAA tournament. First time ever in NCAA history of all sports that the lowest seeded team went on to win it all.

[@nineteeneightynine432]

@@MattHalfhill I read somewhere they were 64 teams in the tournament weren't they the last team.

[@mtchcrtrmm9299]

@@MattHalfhill They were a 4 seed when the CWS seeds only go 1-4. That's the equivalent to somewhere between a 13 and 16 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament so they'd probably be something like a #14 if seeded 1-16. Still wildly impressive.

@@mtchcrtrmm9299yea but there is rankings of 4 seeds and they were ranked on the low side of the 4 seeds

[@MattHalfhill]

I still remember jumping up on that final out so excited that my hand got hit by the ceiling fan and not caring one bit lol.

I will never forget this game.

We showed them who the Real Bulldogs are.

Who doesnt love a good Cinderella story

[@dentonyoung4314]

All you have to do is get an invite. #4 seed in the regional? Doesn't matter, you just have to beat who's in front of you... and then do it again in the Super Regional, the CWS and the championship series. Your pitching gets hot for three weeks, anything's possible...
I was pulling so hard for them. I'm a Californian and I always go for underdogs, so I root for the San Jose States, Fresno States and UC Irvines of the world. To see them win the whole thing...

little bro was on the team as the closer this video starts where hr got called in was awesome then still is now how good was that celebration of a ball 3 call

[@SISON12]

The commentators were Georgia homers

[@jamedlock83]

lol yep 100%

[@easy56wedge]

Love it!

[@JacobQ-jj5hl]

I’m very glad Fresno won, but it’s laughable how many miles away from even touching the bag the 2nd baseman was on that double play

2021 !!

Yes I miss the old ESPN theme.
