The Arkansas Razorbacks have faced two-straight elimination games and come out on top in each of them. They'll have to do it a fourth and fifth time to play for a championship. It all hinges on a win on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Arkansas took down the UCLA Bruins, 7-3. The Razorbacks had complete control of the game through eight innings. They held the Bruins scoreless while racking up seven runs.
Just as Murray State made things uncomfortable late, UCLA gave Arkansas some anxiety in the ninth inning by scoring three runs on two errors and a wild pitch. However, Will McEntire closed things out in the end.
They will look to ride their exceptional pitching staff to more baseball later this week.
