Kolby Branch hitting a home run for No. 3 Georgia, down 11–3 against Oklahoma, meant more than an extra run on the scoreboard amid facing elimination at the College World Series.

When Branch rounded second base, he high-fived his brother, Oklahoma sophomore second baseman Kyle Branch. The Sooners won 11– 4 in the CWS semifinal at Omaha, Nebraska, to advance to the CWS finals against North Carolina.
