College baseball continues to make inroads in the sports gambling scene. If they keep cranking out exciting College World Series like this year’s, it won’t be long before they’re king of the mountain. Fresno State beat Georgia two games to one to win the first national men’s championship in school history – in any sport.

This is the quintessential underdog story. Fresno State went into the 64-team tournament as a No. 4 seed in their region. No previous fourth seed had won the College World Series, or any other NCAA championship. The Bulldogs went 6-0 in elimination games, pulling out two of those victories after losing the opening game of the CWS Finals to Georgia.

Even more impressively, Fresno State right fielder Steve Detwiler went 4-for-4 and drove in all six runs in last week’s title-clincher, all while playing with a completely torn ligament in his left thumb. Detwiler has earned his summer vacation.
