OMAHA, Neb. -- The fifth-seeded Arkansas Razorbacks have been in record-breaking mode this season and there are a couple of big individual records on the line as the Hogs open play in the College World Series championship series today at 6 p.m. against No. 3 seed Oregon State.
Junior right-hander Blaine Knight will take the mound today with a 13-0 record, tied for the school's single-season lead with Rich Erwin (1979) and Steve Krueger (1980). Erwin was a standout on the only other University of Arkansas, Fayetteville team to reach the CWS finals.
Sophomore closer Matt Cronin has 13 saves, tied with current Arkansas volunteer coach Colby Suggs, who seized the record in 2013.
