  • Left-hander Zach Root delivered five scoreless innings in his return to the mound, and reliever Aiden Jimenez allowed only one hit over three frames to preserve the Razorbacks’ lead.
  • LSU advanced to the semis by completing a weather-suspended game to beat UCLA 9-5, with freshman Casan Evans striking out five over 4⅓ innings.
  • Coastal Carolina earned a semifinal berth with a 6-2 win over Oregon State and will meet Louisville, which edged the Beavers 7-6 in an elimination game, at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday.
  • In Omaha’s double-elimination format, LSU requires one win Wednesday to reach the Championship Series, while Arkansas must win twice to extend its season.
