Social media reacts to Oklahoma Sooners walk-off win over Georgia Tech

[ASFN Admin]

The Oklahoma Sooners had an incredible pair of days in Atlanta to knock off the No. 2 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to win the Atlanta regional and advance in the NCAA tournament.

On Sunday, the Oklahoma Sooners overcame an 8-2 deficit to force a winner-take-all game on Monday. Down 7-5 entering the eighth, Oklahoma pulled within one and then tied it in the ninth. After a 1-2-3 top of the 10th from Jackson Cleveland, Dayton Tockey forced a 3-2 count and then launched a walk-off home run to dead center to send the Sooners to super regionals.

It was Oklahoma's first walk-off home run in the NCAA tournament since 2008.

It was the second time in as many days that the Sooners had to rally from sizeable deficits against the No. 2 team in the nation, and Skip Johnson's crew had a never-say-die, "Hard to Kill" mentality in the Atlanta regional.

Now the Sooners head to Lawrence, Kansas, to take on the Jayhawks in a three-game series with the winner advancing to Omaha for the College World Series.

Here's how social media reacted to the win.

Special Win​

Dayton Tockey walks it off in the 10th with a solo shot to centerfield 8-7. Oklahoma wins the Atlanta Regional. #Sooners are headed to the Super Regionals for the first time since 2022. Unreal. Special club.

Hero of the Day​

You have to just feel really good for Dayton Tockey

Up-and-down season for him with his playing time fluctuating, he earned his way back into consistent AB's late in the year and just had the biggest swing for Oklahoma baseball since 2022

Baseball is the greatest

Masterful Job by Skip​

This weekend was as masterful of coaching and managing of a pitching staff as I've ever seen from Skip Johnson

He pushed all the right buttons all weekend long, and it's a big reason why Oklahoma is still playing#Sooners

Incredible run by OU Baseball​

All the credit in the world to Skip, Reggie and those guys

That team was in there the first half of the season and first handful of weekends in the SEC, almost impossible to rekindle that flame but they found a way to do it

Bad year to be a top seed​

For the 2nd year in a row, neither the national No. 1 or No. 2 seed advance to the Super Regional round.

Last year it was (1)Vandy & (2)Texas.
This year it's (1)UCLA & (2)Georgia Tech.
