Burkie and Roons return to the D1 Daily Podcast after a broadcasting hiatus to recap a memorable NCAA baseball postseason and Oklahoma’s historic national championship run. They discuss how Oklahoma won on the road against Big 12 champ Kansas and ACC champ Georgia Tech. They review the unlikely offensive surges from players like Deiten LaChance and Kyle Branch, and key pitching contributions from Cord Rager, LJ Mercurius, and Gavin Jones....among many others.

Burkie and Roons then compare Oklahoma’s run to past champions like Ole Miss and Fresno State, debate whether the power display was sustainable, and note how many top teams appeared to “run out of gas” during the postseason.
