OMAHA, Neb. — Eight teams arrived in America’s heartland Wednesday with hopes of returning home with a national championship trophy.
Among them were the Arkansas Razorbacks (48-13), who will begin play at the College World Series on Saturday night with a game against LSU (48-15). First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
After watching the classic baseball movie The Sandlot as a team on the field at Baum-Walker Stadium the night before, Arkansas players went through a light workout on their home field Wednesday morning, then boarded buses midday as about 100 fans gathered to wish them well.
