Arkansas pitcher Connor Noland (13) smiles and is congratulated by third baseman Cayden Wallace as he walks off the field during an NCAA Tournament game against North Carolina on Saturday, June 11, 2022, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Connor Noland threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings and Arkansas defeated North Carolina 4-1 on Saturday in the first game of the NCAA Chapel Hill Super Regional at Boshamer Stadium.
The Razorbacks (42-19) moved to within one victory of playing in the College World Series. Arkansas would win the super regional with a victory in Sunday’s game at noon Central, or in an if-necessary game Monday.
