Oklahoma Drops Game 2 Of College World Series Final Against North Carolina

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — North Carolina coach Scott Forbes had to make a quick pitching change when starter Ryan Lynch tweaked his left oblique midway through Game 2 of the College World Series finals.

No worries.

Forbes called on freshman Caden Glauber for the 29th time this season, and for the 29th time he’s pitched, the Tar Heels won.

Their 6-2 victory over Oklahoma kept alive their pursuit of the school’s first national championship in baseball. The winner-take-all Game 3 is Monday night.

“This is what it’s all about,” Forbes said. “This is why you work so hard — to play in a night game, national championship game. So we’re excited about that opportunity.”

Lynch and Glauber cooled off Oklahoma’s bats, Owen Hull and Cooper Nicholson homered, and North Carolina (54-13-1) bounced back from a 9-3 loss in Game 1.
