College World Series

vs

Arkansas 4 - Virginia 3

It took twelve inning and over five hours, but Arkansas finally beat Virginia 4-3 last night and advance to the bracket finals in the College World Series. That's the good news. The bad news is they now have to beat LSU twice! Monday night the Tigers had BBQ'd pork as they smoked the Razorbacks 9-1 and remained undefeated in their bracket. I do think that the Hawgs can pull of the upset and win one, but I don't know if they can beat the Tigers back to back. LSU has some of the best pitching in the CWS and they are now a very well rested team, while the Razorbacks are coming off of a twelve inning marathon. Arkansas does get the day off, as the two teams will play Friday afternoon. The Tigers haven't had to play since Monday night when they put a whoopin' on Arkansas. I've got the day off Friday, so I'll be watching.

College World Series

vs

Saturday afternoon the Arkansas Razorbacks spanked Cal State Fullerton 10-6 to open the 2009 College World Series in Omaha. Later that evening the LSU Tigers gave the SEC a sweep of the days action by beating Virgina 9-5. That sets up an SEC showdown Monday night as Arkansas faces LSU to see who advances to the winners bracket.

Omaha Bound!

The Arkansas Razorbacks swept Florida State, Saturday, winning the Super-Regional and punched their ticket to Omaha, Nebraska and the NCAA College World Series.
Senior Andrew Darr started his first game in almost a month and made the most of his opportunity by collecting four hits including the game-winning walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth to lead the No. 16 Arkansas Razorback Baseball team to a 9-8 victory over the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles in Super Regional action and earn themselves a trip to the College World Series. With one out and a runners on first and second, Darr hit a shot deep into the gap in left field driving in both runners and sending the Razorbacks to Omaha. Congratulations to the Hawgs and their fans. As a resident of Northwest Arkansas and a baseball fan, I couldn't be happier for these guys!
