UCLA athletic teams had already won the most national championships of any NCAA school, but never the baseball title — until tonight. The Bruins closed that gap in their legacy of sports excellence by sweeping the College World Series in Omaha.

The Bruins defeated Mississippi State by a score of 8-0 to secure the 109th national title in the history of UCLA sports. That is a new NCAA record. A celebration is scheduled for Thursday at 2 p.m. in Jackie Robinson Stadium.
