OMAHA — Once Arkansas' offense got rolling against Texas in the sixth inning, nothing could stop the Razorbacks. Not even the weather.

Five straight batters had reached base when the teams were pulled from the field for a weather delay. When play resumed 2 hours, 49 minutes later, five more in a row got on base.

What turned into an eight-run sixth carried the Razorbacks to an 11-5 win in their College World Series opener on Sunday.
