1991: Lewis-Clark State College Baseball NAIA World Series Championship No. 7 LEWISTON, Idaho -- The Warriors looked to continue their dominance over NAIA competition when the 1991 series rolled around. In the opener against Lubbock Christian, Texas, the Warriors were victorious 9-4. Following that, LCSC topped Oral Roberts, Okla., 13-8. LCSC then outlasted South Carolina-Aiken and the rain, 19-6, before downing North Florida 11-3. An 11-4 win over surprising Hawaii Pacific put the Warriors in the title game for the ninth straight season. And in that title game, Joe Misa took over. The Warrior right-hander blanked Oral Roberts 7-0. It was the first title-game shutout since Eastern Michigan threw blanks at Northeast Louisiana 1-0 in 1970. It was also the Warriors' fifth straight championship and seventh in eight years. A standing room only crowd estimated at 5,400 packed Harris Field for the final World Series game at Lewiston on the current contract between LCSC and the NAIA. It was LCSC's 35th straight home win and completed a perfect 32-0 home season. LCSC finished the season 48-7. Misa won his second tournament game and finished the season 11-2. He gave up just five hits, struck out eight and walked only three. Oral Roberts starter Greg Jackson didn't pitch
badly, but he didn't receive any help behind him. In the second inning with LCSC runners
on first and second and one out, Todd Anderson bounced one back to Jackson, who fired to
second base. But Titan shortstop Paul Meade dropped the ball and the bases were loaded.
Marvin Benard walked to force in the game's first run and Mark Dow grounded to short to
score the second run.
