Sooners Ride Hot Hitting to 9-3 Victory in CWS Finals Game 1
Oklahoma rode a 14-hit attack to a 9-3 win over North Carolina in Game 1 of the College World Series finals, with Cord Rager settling after a rough first inning and the Sooners swiping three bases. Key moments included Deiten LaChance’s early two-run homer and a four-run fourth highlighted by Kyle Branch’s two-run single, while Carolina’s offense cooled after the opening frame. Carter French contributed a spectacular outfield catch, Tom Chmielewski provided two scoreless innings, and UNC will attempt to even the series in Game 2.
