CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — But for the cleanliness of a home plate umpire, the Arkansas Razorbacks might have been on their way home today from the College World Series.
That was how long-time sports reporter Stephen Caldwell began his game story from the College World Series in the June 5, 1989, edition of the Arkansas Democrat.
Arkansas’ 7-3 victory over North Carolina at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., was the only meeting between the programs. That will change Saturday when the Tar Heels host the Razorbacks in Game 1 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional at Boshamer Stadium.
