BREAKING: Razorback Rampage — Arkansas Secures College World Series Berth with Dominant Super Regional Sweep Over Tennessee

In a thunderous display of power, resilience, and pure will, the Arkansas Razorbacks are heading back to the College World Series after a commanding Super Regional sweep of their longtime SEC rival, the Tennessee Volunteers. Baum-Walker Stadium shook with the roar of 11,000 strong as the “OmaHogs” lived up to their nickname, punching their ticket to Omaha in dramatic, unforgiving fashion. The Hogs didn’t just beat the Vols—they overwhelmed them, erased doubts, and delivered one of the most electrifying postseason performances in program history.

The Super Regional opened with fireworks. Arkansas ace Connor Hollan took the mound under immense pressure but rose to the occasion like a battle-tested veteran. His fastball-command and deadly off-speed mix left Tennessee’s potent lineup frustrated. In front of a rowdy Fayetteville crowd, Hollan threw seven shutout innings, striking out nine, and allowing just three hits.

On the offensive end, Arkansas wasted no time. Slugger Jared Wegner smashed a two-run homer in the first inning, setting the tone for the rest of the series. Caleb Cali and Kendall Diggs added RBI hits as the Hogs built a 6–0 lead by the fifth inning. The Volunteers never recovered, and Arkansas took Game One with a decisive 7–2 victory.

Connor set the tone, and the bats followed,” said Razorbacks head coach Dave Van Horn. “That’s exactly the kind of baseball we’ve been working toward all season.”

With a trip to Omaha on the line in Game Two, the Razorbacks came out swinging once again. This time, it was a total team effort. Peyton Holt, who has become a postseason revelation, laced two doubles and drove in three runs. Meanwhile, freshman pitcher Mason Molina showed nerves of steel, keeping Tennessee off balance through six gutsy innings.

Yet, the Vols refused to go quietly. In the eighth inning, trailing 5–1, Tennessee mounted a furious comeback attempt. After a walk and a bloop single, the bases were loaded with just one out. Razorback closer Gage Wood was summoned, and the tension became almost unbearable.

Wood struck out the next batter with a nasty breaking ball and forced a weak groundout to end the threat. Baum-Walker erupted. Fans knew the game—and the series—was hanging by a thread.

In the ninth, Wood returned and slammed the door with a pair of strikeouts and a game-ending flyout to left field. Final score: Razorbacks 5, Volunteers 3. Series over.

As the final out nestled into the glove of Jace Bohrofen, gloves flew into the air, players rushed the mound, and Van Horn—stoic as ever—allowed himself a rare, satisfied smile. The Arkansas Razorbacks were once again bound for Omaha.

For seniors like Wegner and Diggs, the moment was especially emotional. Both have fought through injuries and near-misses in years past. Now, they’re headed to college baseball’s biggest stage.

With this Super Regional sweep, Arkansas improves to 48–13 on the season and continues to prove they’re one of the most complete teams in the nation. From elite pitching depth to timely hitting and defensive grit, the Razorbacks are storming into Omaha with momentum on their side.

The path hasn’t been easy. The Hogs navigated the brutal SEC schedule, survived a competitive regional, and faced down a Tennessee team many considered the most dangerous in the tournament. But Arkansas didn’t flinch. They executed. They delivered.

The Razorbacks haven’t won a national title in baseball despite multiple CWS trips and heartbreaking near-misses—most memorably in 2018. But this team, with its mix of veterans, underclassmen, and unshakeable confidence, feels different.

With the College World Series set to begin next week, the Razorbacks will wait to see who they’ll face in Omaha. But make no mistake—they’re not just content to be there. This team is built to win it all.

Fans across the Natural State are already making travel plans and donning their red and white. Social media is buzzing with the rallying cry: “OmaHogs are BACK!”

And after this Super Regional beatdown of Tennessee, the rest of the country is officially on notice. The Razorbacks are charging into Omaha—not as underdogs, but as legitimate contenders, fueled by heartbreaks past and dreams of glory.
