OMAHA, Neb. — The Oral Roberts baseball team saw its historic 2023 season and Cinderella run in the postseason come to a close Tuesday afternoon at the College World Series as they fell to Texas Christian University by a score of 6-1 at Charles Schwab Field.
The Golden Eagles concluded the 2023 campaign with a 52-14 record and advanced to the College World Series for the second time in program history. The 52 wins are a program record (D1era).
