Oklahoma stuns North Carolina in Game 1 of the National Championship, riding a dominant bullpen and a red-hot offense to take a commanding series lead. Mark and Jared break down Jason DeCaro's rough outing, Deiten LaChance's emerging X-factor status, and why Skip Johnson can't seem to make a wrong move right now. Plus: a look ahead to Game 2, the Xander Mercurius vs. Ryan Lynch pitching matchup, and whether North Carolina's lineup can finally wake up.
