Oklahoma walks off No. 2 Georgia Tech as Sooners advance to super regionals

Oklahoma secured its spot in the super regionals with an 8-7 victory over No. 2 Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regional final. The Sooners trailed 7-3 before rallying, with Jaxon Willits tying the game in the ninth inning. Dayton Tockey delivered the decisive hit, a walk-off solo home run off Tate McKee in the 10th inning, marking his sixth blast of the season. The win marks Oklahoma’s first super regional appearance since 2022, when they last reached the College World Series. The Sooners faced elimination Sunday but won two consecutive games—a 15-5 victory over The Citadel and a 15-8 win over Georgia Tech—to force the elimination game. With the loss, Georgia Tech became the fifth national seed eliminated from the tournament, joining No. 1 UCLA, No. 9 Southern Miss, No. 10 Florida State, and No. 13 Nebraska. Oklahoma will now travel to Lawrence, Kansas, for the super regional matchup against No. 15 Kansas, a Big 12 rivalry. The Sooners took an early 3-0 lead in Monday’s game but surrendered five runs in the fifth and sixth innings, falling behind 7-3 before staging their late comeback. The win sets up a best-of-three series against Kansas, where the winner will advance toward the College World Series. Tockey’s dramatic home run and bat flip cemented the victory, showcasing Oklahoma’s resilience in a tournament where underdogs have repeatedly upset higher-seeded teams. The Sooners’ advancement continues their historic run, with the team now aiming to extend its postseason success into the super regional stage.
