FAYETTEVILLE — Charley Boyce gave his right arm for Arkansas.
In return Arkansas made him a legend and afforded him the career opportunity of his lifetime.
The trade-off is so well worth it, asserts Boyce, the owner of Paschal Heating and Air headquartered in Springdale.
Back in 2004, Arkansas catcher Brady Toops and starter-become-emergency-reliever Boyce co-starred on what still reigns as the Razorbacks’ biggest Baum-Walker Stadium day.
Beaten in Saturday’s winner’s bracket game at the Fayetteville Regional by the Wichita State Shockers, the Hogs beat Missouri in Saturday night’s loser’s bracket final and needed to beat Wichita State twice on Sunday to advance to the College World Series in Omaha.
