Tockey with the big walk-off home run against Georgia Tech
On June 1, Tockey came up in a massive way for Oklahoma in the Atlanta regional final. The Fort Worth-native hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to give the Sooners an 8-7 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

This is a major upset that shook up the NCAA Tournament landscape. Georgia Tech was the number two national seed, and Oklahoma had lost four straight weekend series heading into the NCAA Tournament.
Tockey had four hits in both regional final games against the Yellow Jackets. He played a big part in getting the Sooners to a super regional after fighting through elimination in regional play.
Two Lawrence super regional home runs
Tockey rode with the momentum from his walk-off home run against Georgia Tech into the Lawrence super regional. Oklahoma swept the Kansas Jayhawks in the super regional at Hoglund Ballpark.
In game one, he hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning that made it a 4-0 lead for the Sooners. Kansas would not be able to catch up, and Oklahoma defeated the Jayhawks 8-1.
In game two, Tockey hit another home run. This home run was a solo shot in the third inning that made it an 8-1 game. Tockey’s home run also came after the Sooners put together a six-run second inning. Oklahoma won the game 13-2. With the win, they won the Lawrence super regional and advanced to the 2026 College World Series.
Tockey has been one of the best players in the 2026 NCAA Tournament with 10 hits, five home runs, and nine RBIs.
Up next for Oklahoma
Oklahoma is heading back to the College World Series for the 12th time in program history. Their first game of double elimination play is on Saturday, June 13, at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. Oklahoma will play the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the first pitch is at 3 p.m. ET. The game is on ESPN.
