Wesloski’s start will mean OU started freshmen in each of its 6 games at the College World Series. Freshmen Cord Rager and Xander Mercurius have both started a pair of games since the Sooners arrived in Omaha.
Wesloski last pitched on June 17 in a win over Georgia. He tossed 5.2 innings, allowing just 3 hits and 1 earned run. He will carry a 3.63 ERA on the season into Monday night’s showdown against the Tar Heels.
Oklahoma is looking for its first National Championship in baseball since 1994. The Tar Heels have finished runner-up twice in their history, but have never won the College World Series.
