The No. 3 national seed, the Arkansas Razorbacks (45-13, 20-10 SEC), exerted its dominance against the Creighton Bluejays, winning 12-1 in the second round of the Fayetteville Regional. Although the Hogs handled their business against the North Dakota Bisons, they didn't prove the decisive advantage they have on the field. However, the Razorbacks demonstrated their superior talent against an even better Creighton team tonight.

Arkansas' pitching was phenomenal tonight against the Bluejays. Zach Root pitched 6.0 scoreless innings, allowing only three hits, and delivered seven strikeouts. The Razorbacks' bats were hot. They had five home runs: Wehiwa Aloy and Ryder Helfrick each had two, and Cam Kozeal had one. This pitching and hitting reminded everyone of why the Arkansas Razorbacks were once the top-ranked team in the nation.

The Hogs are not only one win away from advancing to the Fayetteville Super Regional. Even the Razorbacks would have to lose two games not to advance to the Fayetteville Super Regional, which isn't likely, Razorback Nation will not feel comfortable until the Hogs secure one more victory in the Fayetteville Regional. Razorback Nation was thrilled with how the Arkansas Razorbacks dominated the Creighton Bluejays, as they reminded the college baseball world about how elite they are.
