FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas won an outright SEC championship late Friday by coalescing early when some of their conference rivals did not, then playing more consistently than any team in the nation.
The No. 1 Razorbacks pulled off a feat that had only been done once in SEC history by winning all 10 of their conference series, stretching their streak of series wins to 17 in a row dating back to the 2019 post-season.
