Oklahoma continued to its red-hot postseason form on Saturday, beating North Carolina in Game 1 of the College World Series Finals.
The Sooners got 2 homers from Deiten Lachance and shutout the Tar Heels over the final 8 innings of the game in a 9-3 victory. OU is now just 1 win away from its first College World Series title since 1994.

According to the latest odds at DraftKings, North Carolina -154 on the money line in Game 2 (Oklahoma is +120 to win outright). UNC -1.5 runs is priced at +120.
