Arkansas faces UCLA in Men's College World Series elimination game
- On June 17th, the Arkansas Razorbacks played a do-or-die game against UCLA at the College World Series held in Omaha, Nebraska.
- Coach Dave Van Horn made a calculated decision to start junior left-hander Zach Root despite his recent uneven performance and limited pitching resources.
- Root struck out five batters and allowed two runs over several innings but was pulled after trouble in the fifth, leading to a bullpen collapse and missed hitting opportunities.
- Arkansas fell 4-2, with Van Horn admitting that Zach was unable to deliver his usual strong performance, while analysts observed that Root’s pitching speed had declined and his breaking pitches lacked their usual sharpness.
- The loss ended Arkansas’ championship pursuit, sparked debate over pitching management decisions, and highlighted the intense pressure and strategic balancing in College World Series elimination games.
