College World Series 2022: Arkansas uses offensive explosion, dominant pitching to eliminate Auburn
It was all Arkansas during a College World Series elimination game at Charles Schwab Field Omaha on Tuesday, as the Razorbacks routed Auburn 11-1 to extend their season and send the Tigers home packing.
The Razorbacks jumped ahead 1-0 on a Peyton Stovall single that brought in Brayden Webb. They went on to tack on 3 more in the 3rd before blowing it open on a pair of 2-out hits in the 4th, starting with a 2-RBI double from Michael Turner that scored Webb and Stovall to make it 6-0.

One pitch later, Chris Lanzilli clobbered one into the left-field stands—a 416-footer, tied for the longest home run of the 2022 CWS thus far—to make it an 8-0 contest.
😱 Chris Lanzilli…that ball had a family! 😱

Turner added a run-scoring single in the 5th to make it 9-0. But that was more than enough to support an electric performance on the mound by Will McEntire, as the redshirt sophomore right-hander allowed just 1 run (a home run by Bobby Peirce in the 7th) and 3 hits through 7 innings while striking out 9 and walking just 1.
The Hogs added 2 more in the top of the 9th to extend the lead to 11-1.
The Razorbacks now move on to face Ole Miss on Wednesday. The Rebels are 2-0 in Omaha and already defeated the Razorbacks 13-5 on Monday, meaning the Rebels are 1 win away from the best-of-3 championship series against either Oklahoma or Texas A&M. Meanwhile, an Arkansas win on Wednesday forces a deciding contest on Thursday.
Great response by the Hogs! WPS!! Congrats to Auburn…. Helluva season after such a dismal preseason pick. Now back to Ole Miss… two days n a row!
Congrats to your Hogs, they were unstoppable this evening. Good luck against Ole Miss!
We had a good night, congrats on your season!! We’ve been here 10 times in my lifetime and never took home the trophy. Its a major accomplishment to get to the elite 8.
Thanks echulks! You guys had an awesome season and run…respect! You represented the SEC and your school with class and heart, you should be proud. You guys sent a lot of good teams home!
Well deserved. Congrats, Arky.
gwhite inbound in 3, 2, 1…
LOL!
Yes, because everyone (at least in Knoxville) knows that having a great regular season beats getting to play in the CWS for a chance at a Natty.
Because getting to the CWS doesnt help recruiting…or stadium renovations…because those things only happen to those that have a great regular season.
gwhite has a full case of Prozac to help with the depression.
Hes happy. Just admiring his “Regular Season Champions” Trophy.
Huh? They dont have one?
Nevermind then.
How bout them Hawgs!!!! Somebody talk Mexico down from the Ledge,, poor ole fella!!!!
We showed up tonight!
Hope we can slow down Ole Miss bats tomorrow night.
Win or lose, most Hog fans will be happy the way we battled back. And all SEC fans can be proud of how we dominated the regular and CWS seasons.
What ledge? You think I’m sad over this? Ma’am, I stated many times that I was happy seeing AU make it to Omaha.
“Somebody talk Mexico down from the Ledge,, poor ole fella!!!!’
I’m old enough to remember TN fans screaming about being number one, everyone else sucked and bottles being thrown at umps/fans.
Did the Prozac finally kick in, ma’am?
Now it didn’t yet but that ass whooping y’all got kicked in on you I see,,, You’re an Auburn fan you should be used to losing
TN hasn’t won c rap since 1998.
Suck on that, ma’am.
Why am I being moderated? Did I hurt Ron’s feewings?
You could never hurt my feelings, ma’am.
Where is Ron Mexico Lets Go Sooners lol!!!
You mean Moronico, right?
“Moronico…Troll of the Southern Colonies”
Sounds like a Disney movie, huh?
I can just hear the theme song, along the lines of South Park’s “Blame Canada.”
Moronico!
“You mean Moronico, right?”
That’s it? That’s the best you could come up with, ma’am?
Try harder.
I’m right here, ma’am. I live rent free in your head.
Great performance by Arkansas. It was just the Hogs night.
Congrats, pigs.
Well done, Ark. Congrats to Auburn on a great season. I love your coach and I’ll never understand why State didn’t pursue him.
The best part is that AU was not even picked to do well this season. AU has some great pitchers coming in for next year. Our biggest problem was pitching all year long. I’m looking forward to next season.
No, the BEST part is that Arkansas won. No aubie hate, classy team that sent a lot of good teams home. Hogs are just better.
“No, the BEST part is that Arkansas won. No aubie hate, classy team that sent a lot of good teams home. Hogs are just better.’
I see you can’t understand common english, ma’am.
The fact 3 of the final 4 are SEC teams, and the other is a future SEC team, has got to have the sphincters of the NCAA brass tightening, which is a wonderful thing.
Maybe Congress can start some hearings and waste millions of dollars exploring why the SEC is so good at mens sports?
but then…how could they know they are men?
They arent biologists after all.
LOL. Rachel Levine can give us a breakdown. Not.
I’m guessing the PAC already is after AU knocked 3 of their best teams out of the tournament and we aren’t the best sec team in it.
*weren’t
The Hogs cheated…paid the sun and then modified all the balls to carry to left field. Congrats Piggies!
No, it was the umps. The umps conspired against AU. No wait, it was steroids. No..no….it was AU players were all sick with the flu. Arky fans put the flu virus in the food.
For that I am happy, Moronico. We need your negative energy to keep the group laughing!
“For that I am happy, Moronico. We need your negative energy to keep the group laughing!”
Thanks for proving how dense you are, ma’am. You couldn’t even understand the fact that I was making a joke.
Congrats to Razorback baseball!
Great season, Auburn. You all will be able to build on this and maybe we’ll see you guys back in Omaha next season.
Go Hogs!
Congrats to Arkansas and their fans.
Well that was a nice win. Here’s hoping that the Ole Miss bats cool down some tonight. Either way, with 3 SEC teams and 1 future SEC team left as the only ones around, it’s got to make the rest of the country really annoyed. They thought the SEC was too dominant in football. Sheesh, this has got to sit deep in the craw of every SEC naysayer.
