From Associated Press

Rick Gutierrez’s sacrifice fly in the 11th inning gave Oklahoma a 4-3 victory over Arizona State on Monday night in the winners’ bracket of the College World Series.

The run broke a string of seven scoreless innings by relievers of both teams, with each team’s ace getting the decision--Bucky Buckles (4-3) for the Sooners and Noah Peery (11-2) for Arizona State.

Peery walked pinch-hitter Dustin Hansen to lead off the 11th and a sacrifice bunt and passed ball got him to third for Gutierrez’s fly ball to center.
