Arkansas' streak as the consensus No. 1 team in college baseball reached six weeks Monday, and there appears to be no stopping the Razorbacks as they close in on their first SEC regular-season title since 2004. The Razorbacks (39-10, 19-8) are 9-0 in conference series, including 6-0 in deciding third games, after winning two of three at Tennessee over the weekend. “They show up every day and they play hard and they think they can win,” coach Dave Van Horn said.

So how did it go down and what are the storylines? What am I looking at over the next couple of weeks? Lets get down to the nitty gritty.
Friday
Tech 3- TCU 7
Tech lost the first game of the series on Friday night, and if you take away the first inning, I’m not so sure the Red Raiders don’t sweep this series.

In relief of Dallas, was the Sunday starter for most of th
