FAYETTEVILLE -- South Carolina Coach Mark Kingston elected to walk Dominic Fletcher with first base open and his team trailing by a run in the seventh inning against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Carson Shaddy made him pay by ripping a double off the wall in left-center field to clear the bases and give the Razorbacks key insurance runs in their 9-3 victory in the opening game of the NCAA Fayetteville Super Regional on Saturday night.
A crowd of 11,722, the third-largest in Baum Stadium history, watched the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (43-18) reach the brink of its ninth College World Series trip.
