Fans of the longball are enjoying the early action in Wednesday’s College World Series semifinal. In the first 2 innings, 2 balls left the yard.
Arkansas’ Chris Lanzilli broke the scoring ice in the top of the 2nd inning with a home run to left field that just made it over the top of the wall. Lanzilli is feasting at Charles Schwab Field, hitting 3 home runs since the Razorbacks’ arrival in Omaha.

Arkansas is 2-1 in the CWS, needing a Wednesday victory to force a Thursday rematch. Ole Miss is 2-0 and can reach the CWS finals with a victory either Wednesday or Thursday.
