Oklahoma is one win away from the national championship after defeating North Carolina 9-3 in Game 1 of the College World Series finals on Saturday.
Sooners’ Strong Performance
The Sooners used a four-run fourth inning to pull away from the Tar Heels, with Deiten Lachance homering twice off North Carolina ace Jason DeCaro. Cord Rager and two relievers allowed only two runners to reach second base after the Tar Heels struck for three early runs.
Oklahoma has won national titles in baseball in 1951 and 1994 and will go for its third on Sunday. North Carolina, looking for its first, will try to force a deciding Game 3 on Monday.
