Coach Matt Senk and his unflappable band of ballplayers from upstart Stony Brook invaded the most hostile territory in college baseball and vanquished another national power.

Six-time national champion LSU is done, and after 22 seasons with a Stony Brook program that played in Division III when he arrived in 1991, Senk is taking his team to the sport's promised land: the College World Series in Omaha.

''I'm a little overwhelmed, quite frankly, because I think I do know the magnitude of this,'' Senk said, describing how former LSU coach Skip Bertman, winner of five national titles, congratulated him after the game. ''To make it to Omaha (is) every college baseball team's dream, every college baseball coach's dream and it's come to fruition. And to do it against LSU, Alex Box Stadium ... to shake Coach Bertman's hand on the way in. Oh my God. Having that man congratulate me for going to the College World Series, it's just unbelievable.''

Frankie Vanderka threw a three-hitter, Travis Jankowski had four hits and Stony Brook continued its stunning run with a 7-2 victory Sunday night in the deciding game of the Baton Rouge super regional.

Stony Brook, which has won 28 of 30 and will face UCLA in the opening game in Omaha, became only the second team to open the tournament as a No. 4 seed in the regional round and reach the College World Series. The first was Fresno State in 2008 which went on to win the national title.

''Our motto is: `Shock the world and win the last game of the season,''' said Jankowski, the Seawolves' leading hitter at .422 and the 44th overall selection in last week's amateur draft. ''So as long as we do that we should be all right from here on out.''

This Stony Brook squad, which beat host Miami in winning the Coral Gables Regional, just might be good enough to repeat that feat. Playing before crowds of 10,000-plus draped in LSU purple-and-gold, the Seawolves didn't merely survive so much as thrive, outhitting LSU 35-15 in the series.

''They outplayed us really in every phase of the game,'' LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. ''The people in the South haven't heard much about Stony Brook, but they know who they are now. They gained a lot of respect, besides winning a series. They gained an awful lot of respect not only down here but nationwide and I think you have to look at the leadership of their program and that's Matt (Senk). ... That team can play with anybody.''
