It's Over! Michigan State Defeats Alabama
The Michigan State Spartans ignited a huge celebration as they beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 6-3 to win the College World Series.

Michigan State won the series 4-2, capturing the title for the 1st time.

"We stepped it up at the right time, and now we're the champs," said Michigan State manager Ben Kuehnel. "It's a great feeling."

The champs finished the regular season 36-14 and claimed first place in the Conference 1 Big Ten.

In the jubilant clubhouse after the decisive game, series MVP and shortstop Doug Paul said the Spartans have "great fans and they deserve this."

"I am so happy for our city right now," he said.
