Arkansas is sitting in the driver’s seat of their bracket in the College World Series after beating Texas and Texas Tech in their first two games. They now await the winner between Florida and Texas Tech who will have to beat Arkansas twice to punch them out of the tournament. One win for Arkansas would put them in the best of three final series with either Oregon State or Mississippi State.
Arkansas should look no farther back than 2012 to know they cannot take this situation for granted. That season the Hogs beat Kent State and South Carolina before the Gamecocks beat them twice and sent them on their way home.
