College World Series

Before the opening game of the CWS between Vanderbilt and North Carolina, the ceremonial first pitch was delivered by former President George W. Bush. Omaha Little Leaguer Henry Slagle had the honor of handing the ball to President Bush as his Memorial Park Little League team greeted the former president on the field. Before the pitch, his father, former President George H. W. Bush, who played for Yale in the first CWS in 1947, delivered a video message christening the new facility.^[3]
This is the first CWS to feature eight schools from BCS automatic qualifying conferences. (3 SEC, 2 ACC, 2 Big 12, 1 Pac-10)
- The 1987 event was the last with eight major football-playing schools. Florida State, which played baseball in the Metro Conference at the time, was an elite Independent in football, since the Metro did not sponsor football until the 1995 conference reunification.
The SEC Eastern Division has three teams in the same CWS for the first time, South Carolina, Florida, Vanderbilt.
- The SEC East qualified all three teams in these semi-finals, effectively taking the podium.
- The SEC West qualified four of its six teams in 1997, including national champion LSU.
Florida is making its first back-to-back trip to the College World Series in school history. South Carolina is also making a back-to-back CWS appearance, but for the fourth time, (1981–82, 2002, 03, 04 & 2010-11).
- South Carolina is the first defending Champion to make it back to the CWS and defend its title since Oregon State did so in 2007.
This is Vanderbilt's first trip to the College World Series in school history.
- This now makes Kentucky the only SEC school to have never made it to the College World Series.
  - Both members added to the SEC in 2013, Texas A&M (which was in this tournament) and Missouri (six appearances, last in 1964), also previously made it to Omaha.
This is the 19th consecutive year that the SEC has fielded at least one team in the College World Series.
This is the 4th consecutive year that the SEC has fielded at least one team in the Championship Series.
- * This is the second time that the SEC fielded two teams in the Championship Game, and with the last in 1997, LSU-Alabama 1997, representing the Western Division, this was the first to feature two Eastern Division opponents.
The SEC was undefeated against out-of-conference opponents this CWS, going 6-0 in those games versus teams outside of the SEC.
The Big 12 Conference went 0-4 this CWS.
There have been 86 extra-inning games played in the history of the College World Series. By the end of this series, South Carolina had played in the past four.
Three CWS Championship Series games have gone to 11 innings. By the end of this series South Carolina had played in the past two.
For the first time in CWS history, the All-Tournament Team, including the Most Outstanding Player, was composed entirely of players from one conference, the SEC; more specifically the SEC Eastern Division. (South Carolina x 7, Florida x 2, Vanderbilt x 2).
The South Carolina Gamecocks were the first team to go undefeated in the NCAA tournament since the Miami Hurricanes did so in 2001.
With Game 2 Championship Series win South Carolina ties NCAA record for consecutive Post Season wins (Texas 1983-84) 15.
With Game 2 Championship Series win South Carolina ties NCAA record for consecutive College World Series wins (Southern California, LSU) 10.
South Carolina becomes the first team to win the CWS NCAA National Championship in the new TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. (South Carolina was also the last team to win the Championship in the old Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.)
South Carolina becomes the first team to win the CWS NCAA National Championship while using the new BBCOR (Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution) Standard composite baseball bats that resulted in far less overall offensive production, nationally and across the board, during the 2011 college baseball season. The Gamecocks were also the first team to win the CWS while operating under the new "20-second pitch clock" rule. (South Carolina was also the last team to win the CWS in 2010 using the old metal bats and without a time limit imposed between pitches.)
South Carolina becomes the sixth team in CWS history to win Back-to-Back NCAA D1 Baseball Championships. (Texas 1949-50, Southern California 1970-74, Stanford 1987-88, LSU 1996-97, Oregon State 2006-07. South Carolina 2010-11)
This was the lowest-scoring College World Series in modern, (aluminum bat usage), history.
