FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Courtney Deifel had her hand in the air prepared to wave Haydi Bugarin home from first base. There was no need.
Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Arkansas star freshman outfielder Hannah McEwen's hit to left-center field had just enough carry to clear the fence and put Arkansas back in front 5-4.
The Razorbacks did not trail again in a 6-4 win that handed the program its first NCAA regional championship and super regional berth. Arkansas will travel to two-time defending national champion Oklahoma next week for super regional play.
