Sam Angelo homers twice and North Carolina beats Oklahoma 11-5 in Chapel Hill Regional
The second-seeded Sooners (36-21) will play an elimination game against No. 3 seed Nebraska on Sunday. That winner would need to beat the host Tar Heels (44-12) on Sunday night and again Monday to advance to the super regionals.
North Carolina jumped on Oklahoma starter Kyson Witherspoon with two outs and a runner on first. Gavin Gallaher, Hunter Stokely, Alex Madera and Tyson Bass had four straight singles to account for the first three runs before Angelo capped it. All six runs were unearned.
Gallaher had an RBI single in the fourth and Bass and Angelo hit back-to-back solo shots in the fifth for a 9-0 advantage.
Madera singled in a run in the sixth and Carter French did the same in the seventh as the Tar Heels scored in four straight innings.
Sam Christianson had an RBI double in the sixth for the Sooners' first run. Trey Gambill, Kyle Branch and Dasan Harris drove in the other three runs.
Jason DeCaro (9-3) allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings. He struck out eight and didn't issue a walk. Olin Johnson pitched a scoreless eighth and Cameron Padgett was tagged for an unearned run in the eighth. Tom Chmielewski allowed a run in the ninth without retiring a batter before Ryan Lynch closed it out.
Witherspoon (10-4) gave up 10 hits and three earned runs before leaving after four innings.

Phillies' Aaron Nola will make his first minor league rehab start on Thursday
NEW YORK (AP) — Philadelphia pitcher Aaron Nola will make his first injury rehabilitation start Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley at Worcester as he works his way back from a sprained right ankle and fractured rib that have sidelined him since May. Nola threw batting practice on Friday. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Saturday the 32-year-old right-hander will throw about 60 pitches in the Triple-A game. Nola hurt the ankle during agility drills on May 8. He made a pair of ineffective starts and was placed on the IL effective May 15. Nola threw a bullpen session June 1 and felt sore a few days later. An MRI showed a stress fracture of a rib, Thomson revealed June 10. On the IL for a physical injury for the first time since 2017, Nola was 1-7 with a 6.16 ERA in nine starts and 49 2/3 innings. Nick Castellanos sits after hurting knee Right fielder Nick Castellanos was out of the starting lineup Saturday, a day after getting hurt in the Phillies' 12-5 win over the Yankees. 'The last play last night where he went back towards the wall, just kind of jammed his left knee a little bit,' Thomson said. 'He came in a little bit sore today, so keep him out, see how he is tomorrow.' Alec Bohm update Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Alec Bohm is to meet up with the Phillies on Sunday, travel with the team to Chicago and be evaluated. Bohm broke a left rib when hit by a 92.2 mph Yu Darvish pitch at San Diego on July 12. The third baseman and first baseman returned July 18 following the All-Star break, then went on the injured list. 'Still a little bit sore,' Thomson said. ___ AP MLB:
