FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defeated Texas 7-1 in the first softball game of the NCAA Fayetteville Super Regional on Thursday at Bogle Park.
The Razorbacks (48-9) won their ninth consecutive game and moved to within one victory of their first berth in the Women’s College World Series. The teams are scheduled to play the second game of the best-of-three series Friday at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
SEC pitcher of the year Chenise Delce threw her 14th complete game to give Arkansas its first win in the super regional round. The Razorbacks were swept in super regionals at Oklahoma in 2018 and at home against Arizona last year.
