Oklahoma Baseball Forces Game Seven After Stunning Comeback Against Georgia Tech

Oklahoma baseball erased a seven-run deficit with an eight-run fourth inning to defeat Georgia Tech 15-8 and force a Game Seven matchup in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. The Sooners' explosive offensive display on Sunday night kept their tournament hopes alive after the Yellow Jackets had built an apparent commanding advantage.

Tech's Early Dominance Unravels

Georgia Tech seized control from the opening moments. Carson Kerce drew a leadoff walk, followed by Drew Burress launching a 397-foot home run to left field, giving the Jackets an immediate 2-0 lead. The Sooners responded with a two-run blast from Brendan Brock in the second inning to level the score at 2-2.

The Yellow Jackets extended their advantage significantly in the fifth inning. A bases-loaded wild pitch scored Kerce, and Ryan Zuckerman delivered a two-run single up the middle for a 5-2 lead. Alex Hernandez followed with his fourth home run of the regional, clearing the bases and pushing Tech's lead to 8-2. Jarren Advincula added a sacrifice fly in the fourth, increasing the advantage to 9-2 and appearing to put the game firmly in Georgia Tech's control.

Oklahoma's Devastating Turnaround

The fourth inning transformed the contest entirely. Oklahoma unleashed eight consecutive runs to seize a 10-8 lead, dismantling what had seemed like a secure Georgia Tech advantage. The Sooners would add five additional runs to reach the final margin of 15-8, demonstrating an offensive consistency that overwhelmed the Jackets' pitching staff despite their strong early performance.

The result sets up a decisive Game Seven on Monday afternoon with a Super Regional berth at stake. Both teams advanced through multiple rounds to reach the Atlanta Regional, but only one will advance to the next phase of the NCAA tournament. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m., with television details to be announced.
