OMAHA, Neb. -- Everything was all set up for the University of Arkansas baseball team.
The Razorbacks had the winning runs on base with no outs in the top of the ninth inning, the top of the order coming to bat and All-American closer Matt Cronin warming up in the bullpen.
But Cronin never got in the game.
Texas Tech reliever Taylor Floyd retired Trevor Ezell on a popout, struck out Casey Martin and got Matt Goodheart on a flyout.
The Red Raiders held on to win 5-4 Monday before an announced crowd of 19,236 at TD Ameritrade Park and eliminated Arkansas from the College World Series.
