Oral Roberts Joins Exclusive Club of College World Series Cinderellas

Oral Roberts The Golden Eagles Golden Eagles Omaha

When most people think of Oral Roberts, they think basketball, given that the hardwood Golden Eagles reached the Elite Eight in 1974 and the Sweet 16 as a No. 15 seed in 2021.

On Sunday, however, Oral Roberts crashed another sport's biggest stage.

The Golden Eagles topped Oregon, 11–6, in Game 3 of baseball's Eugene Super Regional to become just the third No. 4 seed to reach the Men's College World Series since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1999. Oral Roberts joined Fresno State (2008) and Stony Brook (2012) in the exclusive club; the Bulldogs famously went on to win the national championship.
