It's the first #Sooners shutout at the College World Series in 51 years, third all-time.
Each win in the OU postseason has somehow outdone the other. That was as good as any.
Behind a career-performance from Cord Rager (7 ip, 3 hits, 8 Ks), Oklahoma opens MCWS with a 9-0 win over Alabama, adv. into a winner’s bracket showdown vs. Georgia/Texas winner Monday night. #Sooners post 11 hits from 8 different hitters.
LaChance (2R HR), Gambill & Harris each with two RBIs.
#Sooners have added a safety as Dasan Harris laces a two run single to RF to make it 9-0. Been covering OU baseball for a long time ... I don't know if I've seen a hotter stretch of baseball.
Cord Rager's final line: Career-highs in innings (7) and strikeouts (8) allowing just three hits and no runs. He's walked one batter in 19 postseason innings.
It might be one of the better postseason performances by an OU pitcher in school history.
Cord Rager works around a one out single with his fifth strikeout of the day getting Justin LeBron swinging and a ground ball to Tockey. Headed to top 7, OU leads 5-0
