NCAA Baseball Regionals: Monday Results
Then there were 16. It took until Monday in 11 of the Regionals, but now the Super Regionals are set. Monday’s games were full of intrigue and suspense. Five of the “must-win” games were won by one or two points.
Arkansas and No. 7 national seed Oklahoma State met for the third time in the weekend in an atmosphere that felt like a Super Regional. Those two teams racked some hefty run totals over the weekend. There were over 140 total runs in the Stillwater Regional. Arkansas had a 5-1 lead at the stretch, and OSU almost pulled off another come-back. The Pokes scored twice in the bottom of the 7th. In the 8th, they brought in their ace Josh Campbell, who had started the Saturday game between these two teams to get the win. OSU’s offense loaded the bases with just one out in the bottom of the 8th. However, Arkansas pitcher Hagen Smith was able to strike out the next two batters, including Roc Ruggio, to end the threat. Arkansas would add a couple of insurance runs in the ninth and win 7-3.
Another drama was happening simultaneously in the College Park Regional, also in the 8th inning. No. 15 national seed Maryland was down 8-10 to UConn with one out and a runner on third. Center Fielder, Chris Alleyne bunted to the pitcher who threw to first but missed the catch. Umps called Alleyne out due to base runner interference. The runner at third was sent back to base, and his run did not count. UConn would go on to win the game and advance
