Social media reacts to Oklahoma's dominant win over Georgia
· Yahoo Sports
The Oklahoma Sooners left no doubt in their 11-4 win over the Georgia Bulldogs to advance to the College World Series finals. It is OU's second trip to the finals since 2022 but this one feels far more improbable.

A bubble team toward the end of the regular season and down 8-2 in an elimination game against Georgia Tech, Oklahoma has defied the odds and powered its way to the finals in Omaha. On Wednesday night, the Sooners hit five home runs against a Bulldogs team that led the nation in home runs per game this season.
Jason Walk got the home run party started, and Dasan Harris hit a pair of two-run bombs to help Oklahoma separate from one of the best teams in college baseball.
From the mound, freshman Nick Wesloski put together a strong performance for the Sooners, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 innings pitched. L.J. Mercurius worked 3.1 and allowed just one earned run against the vaunted Georgia offense.
Everything is clicking for Oklahoma heading into the finals, which begins on Saturday. They'll face a good North Carolina Tar Heels for all the marbles. But before we get to the championship series, here's a look at how social media reacted to the Sooners win over Georgia.

Incredible Job by Skip Johnson
Really not any words for the job Skip Johnson and his staff have done in the postseason, and Omaha specifically.

Complete. This Oklahoma team from top to bottom. Lineup. Pitching staff. Fielding. Base paths.
All of it complete. Now 2 wins from a national title. #Sooners

Team of Destiny?
Oklahoma was down 8-2 in the fourth inning of an elimination game against #2 overall seed Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regional.
— Travis J Davidson (@TravisSkol) June 18, 2026
The went on to score 13 unanswered to win that game and haven’t lost since.
I can’t explain it.
Can you?
Exceeding All Expectations
I said this before, but if I would have ranked the SEC teams most likely to win the CWS when the field of 64 was released, Oklahoma would have been last if not second to last.

Now they are about to play in the CWS Finals against UNC.
Baseball man.
Dasan Harris is that Dude
Dasan Harris has done it again. My God. Two run shot to RF and Oklahoma is back out to a 8-3 lead t8.

This is amazing. Simply amazing. Former walk-on and two HRs in the CWS semifinals.
