OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Miami coach Jim Morris finally has the national championship that had eluded him. He can thank Kevin Brown.

Brown homered in the second inning and hit a three-run double in Miami's five-run fifth, leading the Hurricanes to a 6-5 victory over Florida State Saturday in the championship game of the College World Series.

It was the third national title for Miami (50-13) but the first for Morris, the only coach in NCAA history to bring his team to the World Series in each of his first six seasons. Brown made sure Morris wouldn't have to wait until next year.

With Florida State (57-14) leading 2-1, Marcus Nettles led off the fifth with a bloop single to left, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Kris Clute's single to right.

Bobby Hill singled up the middle and Clute went to third. Brian Seever grounded to shortstop Brett Groves for the second out, but rather than throw home to try and get Clute, Groves opted for the force.

After Blair Varnes walked the next two batters, loading the bases, Brown cleared them with a double to the gap in right.

Michael Neu worked the last two innings, retiring the side in the ninth for his 16th save. When he struck out Kevin Cash to end the game, the Hurricanes piled on him in the infield.

The Seminoles pulled within 6-4 in the seventh. Vince Vazquez walked Matt Diaz and Sam Scott, Jeremiah Klosterman grounded out and Cash singled in both runners.

Florida State made 6-5 in the eighth. Ryan Barthelemy hit a leadoff triple over the head of center fielder Seever and scored on John-Ford Griffin's sacrifice fly.

Then, Marshall McDougall, who hit two home runs against Stanford on Friday and had an NCAA record six in a victory at Maryland last month, flied out deep to left, with Mike Rodriguez making the catch on the warning track.

Miami's victory denied Seminoles coach Mike Martin from winning his first title in his 11th trip to Omaha in 20 seasons.

Martin decided to start freshman Varnes (11-2), who injured a knee ligament in the pile when the Seminoles won their super regional game and had not pitched in Omaha.

Martin also broke out Florida State's garish pale-yellow uniforms, normally worn only for Sunday games.

Alex Santos (13-3) started for Miami and worked five innings.
