Walk and Harris lead Oklahoma to College World Series finals with dominant 11-4 victory over Georgia

Oklahoma advanced to the College World Series championship round with a commanding 11-4 victory over Georgia on Wednesday night in Omaha, Nebraska. Jason Walk and Dasan Harris each contributed two home runs, while Trey Gambill also went deep, as the Sooners' potent offense overwhelmed the Bulldogs at Charles Schwab Field. The five-home run performance marked Oklahoma's season high and reflected the team's offensive surge that has defined their NCAA Tournament run.

The Sooners (41-22) will face North Carolina in a best-of-three championship series beginning Saturday night, marking their first appearance in the CWS finals since 2022. Oklahoma is competing for a third national baseball title. Walk's two-home run performance was particularly notable given that he entered the game with just four homers on the season. He launched a wind-aided 417-foot flyball in the third inning, then connected again in the eighth to help build a six-run lead. Harris matched Walk's production while driving in five runs—his career high in 107 games—with three of his six homers coming in the last four games.

Oklahoma's offense has been exceptional throughout the tournament, hitting 43 of its 91 season home runs over the last 16 games, including 26 in 10 NCAA Tournament games. This contrasts sharply with their early-season pace of 48 homers in their first 47 games. Freshman starter Nick Wesloski (2-1) gave Oklahoma a strong pitching foundation, holding Georgia to one run through five innings before requiring relief help. Reliever LJ Mercurius earned his fourth save of the tournament.

Georgia, despite arriving at the CWS as one of college baseball's most formidable offensive teams, struggled significantly at the spacious venue. The Bulldogs (53-14) led the nation entering the tournament with a program-record 174 home runs and ranked in the top five nationally with 9.4 runs per game and a .326 batting average. However, they managed just five home runs across four CWS games while averaging four runs per game with a .183 batting average. Notable performer Daniel Jackson, the nation's player of the year according to the Dick Howser Trophy, batted just .157 at the tournament with one home run, finishing the season with 32 homers.
