The College World Series is now down to its final four teams, each vying for a spot in the championship series that will crown the national champion.
Among those remaining, Oklahoma and North Carolina stand out as the only unbeaten squads. Both clubs have fought through a grueling double‑elimination format to preserve perfect records.
Oklahoma will meet Georgia in a highly anticipated showdown. The Sooners previously edged the Bulldogs 4‑3, and a victory today would guarantee them a direct berth in the title series. Should Georgia pull off an upset, an elimination game would be scheduled for Thursday.
In the other half of the bracket, North Carolina takes on West Virginia in the early game. The Tar Heels had beaten the Mountaineers 5‑2 on Sunday, and a win would send them to the championship series for the first time since 2007.
If West Virginia can replicate their recent 12‑0 triumph over Troy, they too will force a Thursday elimination contest. The winners of those potential Thursday games will determine the two teams that advance to the final series.
What’s at Stake
The stakes extend beyond bragging rights. For Oklahoma, a win would cement their dominance and set up a showdown with a team that could finally hand them their first loss of the tournament. For North Carolina, the prospect of returning to the championship series after nearly two decades would revive a program that has historically been a powerhouse in college baseball.
