Easton Carmichael homers twice, Oklahoma rolls past Huskers 17-1 to reach regional final

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Easton Carmichael homered twice and drove in four runs, Oklahoma matched its season high with 18 hits and Cade Crossland scattered five hits over seven innings as the Sooners advanced to the Chapel Hill Regional final with a 17-1 rout of Nebraska on Sunday. The Sooners (37-21) will play No. 5 national seed North Carolina on Sunday night and would have to win that game and beat the Tar Heels again Monday to reach super regionals for the first time since 2022. The Cornhuskers (33-29) went 1-2 in their second straight regional appearance. Oklahoma converted two hits and three errors into a 3-0 lead in the first. Carmichael went deep to left in a six-run third inning, and his three-run homer to right center highlighted a five-run sixth and made it 15-0. Sam Christiansen had two of the Sooners' five doubles. Crossland (5-5) struck out nine in his longest outing of the season. He held the Huskers scoreless until Dylan Carey's infield single drove in an unearned run. Michael Catalano gave up one hit and a walk the rest of the way. Nebraska starter Will Walsh (4-8) gave up seven runs, five earned, in two innings.

Penn State commit earns Student Athlete of the Week

WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Champion senior student athlete Gabby Gradishar will go down as one of the most prolific softball players the school has ever seen. 'I try not to think too much, I like to base it on my ability and know that I've prepared plenty of times for this and just really keep moving one pitch at a time,' said Gradishar. She has four varsity letters for the Golden Flashes softball team and started for three seasons. Her whole freshman year was derailed by an ACL injury, but she bounced back ever since. In both her sophomore and junior seasons, she helped Champion advance as Regional Final runners-up. Gradishar has multiple school records, including the single-season batting average with .640 and the career runs record. This season, she has surpassed 700 career strikeouts in just three seasons. ''I'm very competitive, it's just always been in my nature, my great uncle played at Ohio State and then played for the Broncos, so I think it started from there,' said Gradishar. 'But I've really just loved trying to win everything that I play.' Gradishar's great uncle is former Denver Broncos great Randy Gradishar. The Warren native graduated from Champion High School and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2024. Gradishar also tied the OHSAA state record for the most home runs in a single season with 23 in her junior year. She received All-State First Team honors in her sophomore and junior seasons. She even made it on the MaxPreps All-American Second Team her junior year. 'It's not the same game every single time you play,' said Gradishar. 'It's different, it's a game of failure and if you're good at it, you can learn to get past that and keep moving forward.' Other than softball, she was on Champion's varsity basketball team her freshman year but only played six games due to the ACL injury. Outside of Champion, most of her time was spent playing travel softball for the Thunder Elites. But, she spent time on the Champion Student Council her freshman year and is currently a student ambassador for the Trumbull Career & Technical Center. Gradishar has been a coach for youth softball teams, personally mentoring young softball players, and has conducted Champion youth softball camps. 'I was in their shoes once and looking up to me, I had many mentors looking up to as well. It just really makes me happy to see that they're wanting to learn and wanting to play the game,' said Gradishar. She volunteers for TCTC school events, helps out with her church and the Red Barn Goofy Newfy Rescue which specializes in finding homes for dogs. She will graduate Champion with a 4.0 GPA. Upon graduation, she will attend Penn State to play softball for the Nittany Lions and major in kinesiology. 'I love being a part of this team, it's really great to know that it's a legacy of softball here, and just growing up, it was always a dream of mine,' said Gradishar. 'A lot of young girls look up to us, not just me, but the whole team, and it's a really good feeling. Gradishar is currently leading the Golden Flashes in the OHSAA Division V tournament, looking for a state title. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
