Oklahoma beats Alabama 9-0 in a College World Series game on Saturday, extending the Sooners’ postseason run. Freshman left-hander Cord Rager limits Alabama to three hits over seven innings and is credited with shutting down much of the Crimson Tide’s offense. Oklahoma’s offense also contributes to the lopsided result as the Sooners post a shutout win and improve their standing in the tournament. Deiten Lachance, who is reported to be injured, reaches base despite his condition and is described as hobbled around the bases after hitting a two-run home run. With the victory, Oklahoma moves to play Monday against the winner of the Texas–Georgia game scheduled for Saturday night. Alabama, which loses and is now pushed into an elimination situation, will face the loser of the Texas–Georgia matchup on Monday. Oklahoma’s record at the time of the game is listed as 39-22, while Alabama’s is listed as 42-20.
