FAYETTEVILLE — TCU got the groundball it wanted with Arkansas catcher Casey Opitz at the plate.
But the outcome was less than ideal for the Horned Frogs.
Opitz's bases-loaded single up the middle, which grazed the mound and skipped past a diving Adam Oviedo at shortstop, broke a scoreless tie in the sixth and plated two runs to give Arkansas an edge entering the late innings. It also provided starter Isaiah Campbell a cushion to work with.
The sophomore's base hit proved to be the difference in Arkansas' 3-1 win, which pushed it into Sunday's Fayetteville Regional final at 8 p.
