FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has made a habit of putting its opponents on the ropes early in games in the NCAA Tournament.
In the Razorbacks' regional opener against Central Connecticut State on May 31, they scratched two runs in the second inning against the overmatched Blue Devils and cruised to an 11-5 win. Two days later, in the regional final against TCU, Arkansas scored three times in the first inning on Horned Frogs starter Jared Janczak.
The Razorbacks ran away with a 6-0 win that night and advanced to super regionals.
And they wasted no time jumping on Rebels starter Will Ethridge on Saturday either, easing to within one game of a return trip to the College World Series with a convincing 11-2 win, pulling the season series with Ole Miss to an even 3-3.
