The North Carolina baseball team enters a must-win scenario in a Father’s Day edition of the College World Series against the Oklahoma Sooners. Game 2 in Omaha carries an interesting storyline for both squads.
Oklahoma is doing something we’ve never seen in college baseball before. The Sooners finished the season with a sub .500 record in the SEC, and didn’t win a single game in the SEC tournament but advanced to the big dance. Now they control their own destiny after winning nine straight.
North Carolina blazed through the tournament but are now one loss away from falling short of a championship. They’ll need to win two straight to be crowned the best in baseball.
First pitch in Omaha will be at 2:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
