After knocking out UCLA in an elimination game, No. 3 Arkansas has earned a grudge match with No. 6 LSU with a spot in the College World Series finals on the line.
The task of knocking off the Tigers twice in two days is a daunting one, especially after the Diamond Hogs’ bats were silenced by ace lefty Kade Anderson on Saturday night. Wednesday night’s clash will be the fifth meeting between Arkansas and LSU this season, with LSU holding a 3-1 advantage after winning the regular season series and the first battle in Omaha.
Arkansas players and fans are hungry for revenge and the opportunity to complete the gauntlet of four straight elimination games to escape the loser’s bracket and make it to the finals.
