What channel is UNC-Oklahoma baseball on Monday? Time, TV schedule for NCAAT rubber match
What channel is UNC-Oklahoma baseball on Monday? Time, TV schedule for NCAAT rubber match Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Monday's Chapel Hill Regional Final. UNC will play Oklahoma for a spot in the Super Regionals. The North Carolina Tar Heels failed to close out their Chapel Hill Regional on Sunday night against Oklahoma, losing 9-5 and now facing elimination in a winner-take-all game later Monday. Aidan Haugh struck out six Sooners (38-21) on the mound for UNC (44-13), but struggled with control and walked four more. It took Haugh – North Carolina's number three starter – 102 pitches to get through 3 2/3 innings. The Diamond Heels struggled big-time in the field. UNC fielders committed just two errors, but those led to four unearned runs for Oklahoma. Sooner pitchers kept North Carolina in the game, particularly late, but the Diamond Heels couldn't score once with bases loaded – and no outs – in the eighth inning. We don't know when UNC and Oklahoma will play on Monday yet, but given it's a winner-take-all matchup, there's a strong possibility the Boshamer Stadium lights will be on. North Carolina wants ace Jake Knapp on the mound, but pitching him on two days' rest wouldn't be a great idea. The same goes for the Sooners, who'll want ace Kyson Witherspoon on the mound, but both programs want their aces fresh for potential Super Regional berths. Regardless of who the Diamond Heels throw out there Monday, they can't combine for nine walks, which proved to be a huge difference-maker in Sunday's loss. Oklahoma pitchers only walked five UNC batters – and, while it almost proved costly late, Oklahoma's pitchers regained control to escape jams. Are you traveling to Boshamer Stadium for Monday's winner-take-all game? Have a blast, bring some good luck and fill the stands with Carolina Blue.

The Diamond Heels replaced their entire starting outfield, sport a new-look bullpen and generate their offense from small ball. Oklahoma can hit, just like North Carolina, but lacks the starting pitching in comparison. The Sooners' bullpen has a slight advantage, though, with Monday's game shaping up to be a bullpen game for both teams. UNC's hitters, outside of Gavin Gallaher, need to figure it out or they're going home dejected Monday night. Oklahoma has the momentum and, in an NCAA Tournament already full of upsets, pulls off another one in Chapel Hill.

Oklahoma beats North Carolina to force winner-take-all game Monday
Oklahoma beats North Carolina to force winner-take-all game Monday The UNC baseball team faces a must-win game on Monday. The North Carolina Tar Heels' baseball program will be playing for its season on Monday in Chapel Hill. After entering Sunday's regional final with a 2-0 record, fresh off a big win over Oklahoma, the Tar Heels now face a do-or-die deciding game on Monday after falling to the Sooners 9-5 on Sunday night. North Carolina fell behind in the bottom of the third when Oklahoma took a 1-0 lead. They did battle back to tie the game with a run in the top of the fourth, but the Sooners answered back with a run of their own. The Tar Heels then took the lead in the top of the fifth on a Gavin Gallaher two-out double that plated two runs and gave UNC the 3-2 advantage. It was short lived, however. A few walks and then an error allowed Oklahoma to score five runs in the bottom of the sixth and the Sooners didn't look back, grabbing the lead for good. The Sooners got a two-run home run, a double and a single to plate five in that inning, which was the backbreaker for the Tar Heels. Although UNC answered back with two runs in the top of the seventh, the Sooners plated one run in the seventh and eighth innings. They also kept UNC scoreless in the eighth after the Tar Heels loaded the bases with no outs, threatening to tie or take the lead. UNC's pitching struggled, walking nine batters as the Tar Heels used starter Aidan Haugh and five relievers throughout the game. Haugh gave up just the one earned run in 3.2 innings pitched. The Tar Heels' lineup also struggled as the two through six hitters had just four hits with Gallaher having three of those hits. The loss now forces the winner-take-all game on Monday in Chapel Hill with the winner punching their ticket to the super regional. Due to NCAA rules, Oklahoma will be designated as the home team.

UNC baseball climbs four sports in March 31 USA TODAY Sports Coaches
After a rough stretch in which they lost five of eight games earlier in March, the North Carolina Tar Heels appear to be back in a winning groove of late on the baseball diamond. UNC lost two of three games to Stanford during its first ACC series of the season, then suffered a questionable loss to UConn on March 19.

Jake Knapp looks phenomenal in his first season back from a UCL tear, currently sporting a 5-0 record and 1.63 earned run average. Aidan Haugh is 3-2 with a 1.69 ERA as another member of the Diamond Heels' rotation, while Jason DeCaro is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA.
