Episode Details

Oklahoma stuns North Carolina with a 9-3 win in Game One of the College World Series finals, inching closer to their third national title since 1951 and 1994. The Sooners exploded for four runs in the fourth, fueled by Kyle Branch’s two-run single and Deiten Lachance’s two homers, including a first-inning blast. After North Carolina’s early three-run surge, OU’s pitching locked down — Cord Rager settled in after the first, and relievers shut the door, allowing just two runners past second. Oklahoma’s power surge is off the charts: 45 homers in their last 17 games, including 10 in four CWS games — the most since 2011. North Carolina’s heart was on display too, with Carter French making a jaw-dropping, fence-padded catch in the third — a highlight reel moment even in defeat. North Carolina must win Game Two to force a winner-take-all Game Three on Monday.
