North Carolina Forces Winner-Take-All CWS Final After Lynch, Glauber Cool Off Oklahoma's Hot Offense

  • On Sunday, North Carolina beat Oklahoma 6-2 in Game 2 of the College World Series finals, forcing a winner-take-all game Monday night and keeping the Tar Heels' pursuit of their first baseball national championship alive.
  • North Carolina coach Scott Forbes replaced starter Ryan Lynch midway through the fifth inning after Lynch tweaked his left oblique. Freshman Caden Glauber took over and struck out the side, fanning eight batters over five innings.
  • Owen Hull homered to lead off the fifth, while Cooper Nicholson added a team-leading 16th home run in the seventh. Jake Schaffner drove in two runs with a triple, powering the Tar Heels' offense.
  • Oklahoma coach Skip Johnson noted hitters tried too hard to "punch guys out" rather than sticking to the plan. The Sooners managed only four hits, their fewest since a March 19 loss to LSU.
  • The winner-take-all Game 3 takes place Monday night. Johnson said Nick Wesloski, who pitched 5 2/3 innings in an 11-4 win over Georgia last Wednesday, will start for Oklahoma.
