FAYETTEVILLE — Nothing is as bad as losing your puppy. Not last year when Arkansas lost to South Carolina, 8-5, in the middle game of the NCAA Fayetteville Super Regional.
It was time to dig out Dave Van Horn’s remarks the day before the Razorbacks earned a trip to Omaha the last time with a 14-4 victory over the Gamecocks.
The Hogs will have to find the same magic as last year if they are going to make their first ever back-to-back College World Series trips. Ole Miss punished them, 13-5, Sunday.
Much like Saturday when the Rebels got a first-inning solo homer to get their hearts pumping, the Hogs got a lead in the top of the first Sunday on Dominic Fletcher’s two-run homer.
