OMAHA, Neb. — The Arkansas Razorbacks clinched a spot in the College World Series finals Friday night, eliminating defending national champion and No. 1 seed Florida 5-2 behind a gem from Isaiah Campbell.
Closer Matt Cronin struck out Blake Reese with the backdrop of the chant of "Go Hogs Go!" from the Razorback partisans in the crowd of 25,106 at TD Ameritrade Park to punch the program's first ticket to the finals since 1979.
The Razorbacks (47-19) advanced to the best 2-of-3 championship series and will play the winner of tonight's Bracket 1 final between Mississippi State and Oregon State starting Monday night in pursuit of the first baseball championship for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
