Oklahoma blasted No. 5 North Carolina 13-2 at Charles Schwab Field, riding a relentless offensive attack that put the game out of reach early and never let the Tar Heels breathe. The Sooners, now 43-23, made every inning count against a 54-14-1 UNC club that had no answer on its biggest stage.
Thirteen runs tell the story. Oklahoma set the tone and kept pressing, turning a marquee matchup into a rout. For a Sooners squad that has scratched and clawed to this point, a performance this complete sends a message that they belong in the conversation with anyone left standing.
North Carolina, meanwhile, faces a sudden test of resilience. The Tar Heels have the talent to respond, but the margin for error just vanished. Oklahoma moves forward with momentum and belief — two things you can never have enough of this time of year.
