Arkansas first baseman Peyton Stovall bats during a College World Series game against Auburn on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, in Omaha, Neb.
OMAHA, Neb. — Speaking outside the team locker room, Arkansas first baseman Peyton Stovall was unsure whether he had a five-hit game at any level of baseball prior to Tuesday night.
This much was known: Stovall’s first five-hit performance at the collegiate level was also the first at the College World Series since 2009. It was the first five-hit performance by any player at what has historically been a pitcher-friendly Schwab Field, and it came in the Razorbacks’ most important game of the season.
