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

Mabrey and Charles help Connecticut beat short-handed New York
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Marina Mabrey scored 18 points and Tina Charles added 15 to help the Connecticut Sun beat the short-handed New York Liberty 78-62 on Friday night. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Liberty (17-10), who were missing Breanna Stewart. The star forward is recovering from a bone bruise in her right knee. New York also was without Nyara Sabally (knee) and Kennedy Burke (right calf strain) and only had eight healthy players. The team is in the midst of its longest losing streak since 2022 when the franchise had five-game and seven-game skids. Emma Meesseman joined the squad on Friday and the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP suited up, but didn't play as she was still getting acclimated to the squad. Coach Sandy Brondello expects her to be in the lineup on Sunday when the teams play again in Connecticut. For the Sun (5-21), it was a big victory for a young team looking to establish its identity. Reserves Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Leila Lacan each had 16. DREAM 95, MECURY 72 COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Allisha Gray scored 26 points, including a career-high seven 3-pointers, and Naz Hillmon had 18 points and nine rebounds in her first start of the season as Atlanta beat Phoenix. Atlanta scored 34 points in the first quarter after making 62% of its shots, including 8 for 11 from 3-point range. Gray had 14 points in the quarter— a career-high for any quarter — and Maya Caldwell added 11 to outscore Phoenix's 23 points. The Dream's eight 3-pointers tied a franchise record for any quarter. The Dream extended their lead to 58-42 at halftime behind 16 points and four 3-pointers by Gray. A 9-0 run to begin the third quarter made it 67-42 before Phoenix made its first basket of the half with 6:30 left. VALKYRIES 73, SKY 66 CHICAGO (AP) — Veronica Burton had 18 points, Janelle Salaun had 16 points, and the Golden State beat the short-handed Chicago for their third straight victory. Iliana Rupert added 14 points including four 3-pointers, and Carla Leite scored 11 for Golden State (14-13). The Valkyries were 10 of 30 from 3-point range and 15 of 16 at the free-throw line. Elizabeth Williams had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead Chicago (7-20). Kamilla Cardoso had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Rachel Banham also scored 14. Kia Nurse added 10 points. FEVER 88, WINGS 78 DALLAS (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell had 23 points, Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard had double-doubles and Indiana beat Dallas for their season-high fourth-straight win despite playing without Caitlin Clark for the sixth straight game. The game was moved to American Airlines Center in anticipation of a Clark-Paige Bueckers showdown but Clark missed her 15th game overall and the Fever improved to 8-7 without her. Bueckers did not disappoint the crowd of 17,857 — second-highest in Dallas history — with 22 points, her 12th 20-point game as she increased her WNBA record for double-figure games to start a career to 23 games. Boston had 12 points and 11 rebounds, Howard 11 points and a career-high tying 16 rebounds and both had five assists for the Fever (16-12), who are 3-0 against the Wings. Aari McDonald also had 12 points. Bueckers was the only player in double figures for the Wings (8-21). Arike Ogunbowale had eight points and did not play in the fourth quarter.
