Diamond Hogs find out Extremely Regional challenger

The Arkansas Razorbacks now know their challenger for the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament.The Tennessee Volunteers defeated Wake Forest 11-5 on Monday night in the Knoxville Regional Final and will make the trek to Fayetteville for the Super Regional round.The series will be the 2nd time in less than a

month the Volunteers have actually played in Fayetteville, as the Hogs and the Vols fought it out in the final weekend series of the routine season at Baum-Walker Stadium.In that series, the Volunteers took game one before the Hogs unloaded offensively and took the series in persuading style. Tennessee hosted Wake Forest, Miami(Ohio )and Cincinnati in the Knoxville Regional last weekend. The Volunteers took the first two games 9-2 over Miami and 10-6 over Cincinnati, however lost their first game with the Demon Deacons 7-6 on a walk-off walk on Sunday night.That loss set up another match on Monday night. Wake Forest struck first with 2 runs, but Tennessee scored eight unanswered after that to declare an 11-5 win.Arkansas, on the other hand, had a little difficulty putting up work on its very first challenger, North Dakota State, but then scored 20 runs across 2 games versus Creighton to advance to its first Super Regional since 2022. It deserves keeping in mind that Tennessee catcher Cannon Peebles was ejected from Monday’s game and is suspended for game among the Super Regional. The last time he played in Fayetteville, he went 4-for-13 with five RBI throughout three games. Dates for the series, which will take place either Friday through Sunday or Saturday through Monday, will be announced on Tuesday.
