How to watch Notre Dame vs. Oklahoma in the College World Series
Notre Dame and Oklahoma had arguably the two most difficult paths to the College World Series of any team in it. Neither was a national seed. Neither played a tournament game at home.
Both, though, swiped regional and super regional titles by toppling ranked teams. Now, they face off Sunday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2) after they won their first games in Omaha two days earlier. The Irish defeated No. 9 seed Texas 7-3 Friday. The Sooners beat No. 5 Texas A&M 13-8.
Two-way player and right-handed pitcher Cade Horton (4-2, 5.58 ERA) will start for Oklahoma. Notre Dame’s starter will be graduate student righty Austin Temple (4-1, 3.57).
The Notre Dame-Oklahoma winner is off until Wednesday. That team can clinch a spot in the best-of-three final. The loser plays Tuesday in an elimination game against the winner of Sunday’s Texas vs. Texas A&M contest.
