1985 held at Seymour Smith Park in Omaha, Nebraska on May 22-26.
Champion – UCLA Bruins (41-9)
Runner Up – Nebraska Cornhuskers (38-11)
UCLA had to fight out of the loser’s bracket following a second game loss to Cal State Fullerton. With its backs against the wall, UCLA won the next three, including a revenge win over the Titans, and advanced to the title game against Nebraska. The Bruins jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second behind an RBI single by Chris Olivie, but Nebraska tied it in the fourth. The game went to extras and in the bottom of the ninth, Janet Pinneau drove home the game-winner on a single to plate Leslie Rover for the championship. Compton, Doom, Olivie and Rover were each named to the College World Series All-Tournament Team.
Nebraska’s appearance was later vacated due to NCAA infractions with two ineligible student-athletes participating.
