Columbia Regional champions Columbia Super Regional champions vs. Florida The 2011 South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team represented the University of South Carolina in the 2011 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Gamecocks played their home games in Carolina Stadium. The team was coached by Ray Tanner, who was in his fifteenth season at Carolina. The Gamecocks won the 2011 College World Series to become the sixth school in the history of the College World Series to win consecutive national titles (after the 1949–50 Texas Longhorns; 1970–74 Southern California Trojans; 1987–88 Stanford Cardinal; 1996–97 LSU Tigers; and 2006–07 Oregon State Beavers).
During their postseason run, the Gamecocks also became the first team to go 10–0 through the postseason. Building on the success of the prior year's team, the Gamecocks set two NCAA records with consecutive post-season wins (16) and consecutive CWS wins (11); both streaks were active going into the 2012 season.
