The top seed in the Fayetteville Regional won't be advancing to the Super Regional after losing on Sunday. The feeling is completely different for SEMO, which is heading to a Regional Final for the first time in school history.
The Redhawks struck early in the first inning after Ty Stauss homered to left field, and they managed to tack on three more runs in the fourth inning.
Arkansas finally got on the board in the fifth inning thanks to a home run from Peyton Holt to make it 4-1, but SEMO answered in the bottom of the fifth with a homer from Brooks Kettering. The Redhawks tacked on another run in the seventh to make it 6-1.
The score stood until the ninth inning when the Razorbacks added a pair of runs on a two-run homer from Parker Rowland. That home run wasn't enough for Arkansas to rally and now its season is over.
No. 1 Tennessee 12, Southern Miss 3
The top overall seed in the tournament is moving on to Super Regionals for a fourth consecutive season.
The Vols handled Southern Miss after coasting past Northern Kentucky and Indiana on Friday and Saturday.
Tennessee opened up scoring in the second inning after Hunter Ensley hit an RBI single, but the Golden Eagles in the third after an error. Southern Miss managed to take a brief lead in the fifth inning after a pair of runs, but from there it was all Tennessee.
The Vols got their first homer of the game on a three-run shot from Kavares Tears drilled a three-run shot to right field to give Tennessee a three-run lead.
The Vols had two more homers in the seventh inning off the bats of Dylan Dreiling and Dean Curley.
For some extra insurance late in the game, Cal Stark gave the Vols a 12-3 lead on a three-run home run. Though stark bats in the No. 9 spot, he has been crucial for Tennessee's offense and had a pair of homers on Sunday.
The Vols made it to Omaha a year ago, and seem poised to make it there again after a dominant showing in the Knoxville Regional. Tennessee will face either East Carolina or Evansville in Super Regionals.
LSU 8, No. 4 North Carolina 4
The defending national champions lived to see another day after defeating the top seed in the Chapel Hill Regional.
The Tigers took a 2-0 lead early after Josh Pearson hit a two-run homer to right center. LSU picked up some additional insurance later in the third on an RBI single from Michael Braswell III.
North Carolina got on the board in the top of the fourth on an RBI single, but the Tigers quickly extended their lead in the bottom of the fourth. LSU posted a four-run fourth inning to make it 7-1. Hayden Travinski then hit a solo homer in the fifth to make it 8-1.
North Carolina continued to cut into the lead through the late innings and even loaded the bases in the top of the ninth, but LSU held off the late push to force another game on Monday. The winner of Monday's matchup between the Tigers and Tar Heels will advance to Super Regionals.
No. 7 Georgia 8, Georgia Tech 6
It took 10 innings, but Georgia is moving on to Super Regionals for the first time since 2008.
After striking early on an RBI single and a fielder's choice in the first inning, the Bulldogs quickly found themselves facing a three-run deficit. Georgia Tech scored a run in the bottom of the first before picking up a three-run homer and an RBI single to make it 5-2 in the second.
Georgia had runs come across in the fifth, sixth and eighth innings, but still trailed by one in the ninth. Kolby Branch played the hero for the Bulldogs as he scored the game-tying run on a solo homer in the ninth and forced extra innings.
Branch's home run seemingly woke up Georgia's offense, and the 10th inning saw the Bulldogs score three runs to make it an 8-5 game.
The Yellow Jackets got one run across in the bottom of the 10th, but Georgia left the game-tying runner stranded at first to win it. The Bulldogs will now face NC State in Super Regionals.
