For the first time since 2010, the Oklahoma Sooners are headed to the College World Series, clinching the berth with a 11-2 win over the Virginia Tech Hokies in Game 3 of the Blacksburg Super Regional.
Two months ago, Skip Johnson’s Sooners were looking like a bubble team following a pair of frustrating series losses to Texas and Oklahoma State. Those struggles, however, are a distant memory. After winning first straight Big 12 series, sweeping its way through the Big 12 Tournament, topping Florida twice in the Gainesville regional and taking two of three at Virginia Tech, there really isn’t a hotter team in college baseball.
