Texas falls to Arkansas in College World Series opener after nearly three-hour rain delay

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Luke Bonfield hit the go-ahead home run in the fifth inning and Arkansas broke it game with an eight-run sixth in an 11-5 victory over Texas on Sunday in the College World Series.

The Razorbacks (45-19) scored double-digit runs for the fourth time in six NCAA Tournament wins and had their highest total in 28 CWS games. The Longhorns (42-22), in the CWS for a record 36th time, lost their third straight Omaha opener since 2011.

Bonfield delivered the first home run of the CWS with his two-run shot to left for a 3-2 lead.
