— Oklahoma Baseball (@OU_Baseball) June 23, 2026It was a complete effort from Oklahoma’s bats on Monday. Kyle Branch — the unlikely star of the show in the 9-hole — started things off with a single just past the outstretched arm of North Carolina’s first baseman, scoring Dasan Harris. Dayton Tockey added to Oklahoma’s lead when a wild pitch brought him home from third.

— Oklahoma Baseball (@OU_Baseball) June 22, 2026While Oklahoma’s bats were hot throughout Game 3, junior RHP LJ Mercurius was absolutely shoving it out of the bullpen. Mercurius entered in the third inning needing 2 outs with men on corners threatening to tie the game at 3. He immediately struck out the first batter he faced and finished the job with a fly out into foul territory. Mercurius allowed just 4 hits and 1 earned run across the remainder of the game, striking out 5 across 5.2 innings.
While Mercurius kept North Carolina’s offense at bay, Branch, Tockey and Jaxon Willits added to Oklahoma’s lead. Willits was up first, smacking a 2-run RBI single through the gap between first and second to make it 6-1.

— Oklahoma Baseball (@OU_Baseball) June 23, 2026Kyle Branch was an absolute star on Monday despite entering Game 3 hitting 1-16 in the College World Series. He added a 2-RBI single in the 6th inning then took a victory lap in the 8th, launching a 3-run home run to left field — his 4th home run of the year. Branch finished his national championship effort with 3 hits, 6 RBIs and a home run.
A week after his brother Kolby Branch hit a home run in his final at-bat for Georgia, Branch hit one in his last at-bat of the season for Oklahoma on the biggest stage. What a moment:

Enjoy the moment, Sooners fans.
