The 2008 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was held from May 30 through June 25, 2008 and was part of the 2008 NCAA Division I baseball season. The 64 NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of an eligible 286 teams on May 26, 2008. Thirty teams were awarded an automatic bid as champions of their conference, and 34 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee. Thirty-eight of the 64 selected teams participated in the 2007 tournament.

The 2008 tournament culminated with 8 teams advancing to the College World Series at historic Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska, on June 14.

The Fresno State Bulldogs beat the Georgia Bulldogs in the best-of-three championship series to win the NCAA Men's Division I Baseball Championship. Fresno State became the lowest seeded team (4th in the Regionals) to win the National Championship in NCAA history, and the fifth consecutive baseball team to win the title that was not one of the eight national seeds. They were considered a "Cinderella" team throughout the tournament. This was only the third national championship of any kind in school history, following the 1968 NCAA Men's Tennis Tournament and the 1998 NCAA Division I softball national champions.

Fresno State sophomore third baseman Tommy Mendonca won the Most Outstanding Player Award. Tommy hit four home runs and had 11 RBIs and also made a number of spectacular plays in the field.

The first day of the 2008 CWS was moved to Saturday (June 14) from the traditional Friday. Also, if all games were needed in the first double-elimination round, it would take eight days to complete rather than seven. The NCAA cited the need to be more flexible in the super-regional round in case of inclement weather. It also allowed for greater potential ticket revenue, in part because the extra "if-necessary" day would now be ticketed separately if both games are played.[1]

Bids

Automatic bids

Tournament notes

  • Oregon State was not invited to the NCAA tournament, marking the first time since 1991 that the defending champion did not return to the following year's tourney (Georgia).
  • Clemson was not invited to the NCAA tournament, breaking a streak of consecutive appearances for the Tigers that dated back to the 1987 season.
  • Dallas Baptist made its first appearance. DBU was the first independent institution to qualify for the Division I tourney (other than Miami (Fla.), which kept an independent schedule during its years in the Big East) since Cal State Northridge did so in 1992.
  • Michigan was the only non-#1-seed selected to host a regional, forcing #1 seed Arizona to play an away regional, as the NCAA organizing committee said it was trying to maintain geographical balance with the host sites.[2]

Round 1

  • Four No. 1 seeded regional host schools, out of 16 total, lost first-round games to No. 4 seeds:
    • Georgia 7, Lipscomb 10
    • Stanford 2, UC Davis 4
    • Florida St. 0, Bucknell 7
    • Long Beach St. 3, Fresno State 7
  • Five No. 3 seeds upset No. 2 seeds in the opening round.

Round 2

  • Fresno State was the only #4 seed to register wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.
  • Tulane was the only #3 seed to register wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.
  • 9 of the 16 #1 seeds registered wins in the first two rounds of the tournament.

Super regionals

  • Six of the eight national seeds advanced to the College World Series. Only #3 seed Arizona State and #5 seed Cal State Fullerton were unable to make it past super regionals.
  • Fresno State became the first team in the history of the NCAA tournament to make it to the College World Series as a #4 regional seed.

CWS records tied or broken

  • Most runs scored in an inning: 11 (tied)(Stanford, 9th inning, Game 1 against Florida State)
  • Most runners left on base in a nine-inning game: 17 (tied) (Florida State, Game 5 against Miami)
  • Most doubles hit by a player: 3 (tied) by Rich Poythress Georgia against Stanford, Game 11.
  • Most losses by a team who won the College World Series: 31 (Fresno State)
  • Lowest seed to win the College World Series: #4 regional seed, #89 RPI (Fresno State)
