Oklahoma didn't just knock off the No. 5 team in the country — they steamrolled them. The Sooners poured across 13 runs to bury North Carolina 13-2, turning a marquee matchup at Charles Schwab Field into a statement rout.
Everything that could go right for Oklahoma did. The bats came out scorching, and the Tar Heels — a 54-win ballclub all season — never found a response. A 13-spot against a program of that caliber tells you the Sooners weren't just happy to be here. They came to impose their will.
For North Carolina, the margin stings, but a 54-14-1 resume doesn't evaporate in one loss. The question now is how the Tar Heels respond to adversity — and whether Oklahoma just announced itself as a team nobody wants to see in the next round.
