OMAHA, Neb. — Arkansas’ baseball season came to an end Thursday one game short of playing for a national championship.
The Razorbacks lost 2-0 to Ole Miss in a quick, well-pitched game at the College World Series. The game lasted 2 hours, 6 minutes.
Ole Miss (40-23) advanced to the national championship series against Oklahoma that is scheduled to begin Saturday at Schwab Field. The Rebels improved to 8-1 during an unforeseen postseason run. Ole Miss was one of the last four teams admitted to this year’s tournament.
The Rebels won two of three games against the Razorbacks this week in Omaha, including a pivotal 13-5 outcome Monday that sent Arkansas to the losers bracket and forced the Razorbacks to play one more game than the Rebels in pool play.
