FAYETTEVILLE — The final score was Arkansas 9, South Carolina 3.
It doesn't take much of a look into the box score – for the game and for the season – to see where the Razorbacks beat South Carolina on Saturday night.
It's the clear reason the Hogs are 43-18 and one victory away from advancing to the College World Series for the ninth time. The Gamecocks finished strong with a 17-13 SEC record (one game back of the Hogs), but the walk differential is the main reason they stand 36-25 overall.
It's because of free passes, by walks and hit batters.
