Historic Championship Ended A 32-Year Drought
The Oklahoma Sooners National Championship Celebration honors a season that will forever be remembered in program history.
On Monday night, Oklahoma defeated North Carolina 13-2 in the decisive third game of the College World Series Finals at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha.
The victory secured Oklahoma's third national championship in baseball and its first since 1994.
The Sooners previously captured national titles in 1951 and 1994 before ending a 32-year championship drought with this year's victory.
The championship game featured a dominant offensive performance as Oklahoma overwhelmed the Tar Heels and secured one of the most memorable wins in school history.
Tournament records and championship history are available through the NCAA Men's College World Series Official Website.
Skip Johnson Led One Of College Baseball's Greatest Turnarounds
What makes this championship even more impressive is the path Oklahoma took to get there.
Head coach Skip Johnson guided the Sooners through one of the most unlikely postseason runs in recent college baseball history.
Oklahoma finished 11th in the highly competitive SEC regular-season standings and entered the postseason with little national attention. However, the Sooners caught fire in June and proceeded to eliminate five nationally seeded teams on their way to the championship.
The remarkable run transformed Oklahoma from a postseason longshot into a national champion and solidified Johnson's place among the most successful coaches in program history.
Fans attending tonight's celebration will have the opportunity to honor the players and coaching staff responsible for bringing another championship back to Norman.

With free admission, autograph opportunities, championship merchandise, and a chance to celebrate one of the greatest seasons in school history, the Oklahoma Sooners National Championship Celebration is expected to be a memorable evening for fans across Oklahoma.
