College Baseball World Series 2018: Sunday Scores, Winners and Bracket Results

The College World Series continued Sunday with four teams trying to get one step closer to a baseball national championship.

Arkansas kicked off Day 2 from TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska, with an 11-5 win over Texas. In the second game, Texas Tech handled Florida with a 6-3 victory.

While none of the teams were eliminated Sunday in the double-elimination tournament, a win goes a long way toward helping reach next week's final.

Arkansas 11, Texas 5

A rain delay that lasted nearly three hours didn't slow down Arkansas, which scored eight runs in the sixth inning and held on for a six-run victory.

The Razorbacks gave themselves a lot of opportunities offensively and came through with big hits throughout the day, with this two-run homer from Luke Bonfield in the fifth inning being a key moment:

The game broke open in the sixth inning, with Texas suffering some self-inflicted wounds. Parker Joe Robinson and Josh Sawyer each walked in a run with the bases loaded, though both were charged to starter Nolan Kingham as part of his five runs allowed in five innings.

Although the rain delay paused the action with the bases loaded, Arkansas returned even hotter with six more runs behind four different RBI singles. This Heston Kjerstad hit brought in two and helped make it 11-2 by the end of the inning:

Kjerstad ended the day 3-for-5 with two runs and three RBI, and Jared Gates also helped with three hits.

Blaine Knight also set the tone for Arkansas on the mound, challenging Texas' best player as he said he would, via Tyler Cass of 5News:

Knight went five strong innings while allowing two runs and four hits, getting Kody Clemens out both times he faced him. The star second baseman finished 1-for-5 with two strikeouts.

The Longhorns did their best to fight back, scoring two in the eighth and one in the ninth. Unfortunately, they couldn't do enough to overcome the massive deficit. 

Arkansas will now take on Texas Tech, while Florida will match up with Texas in an elimination game Tuesday.

Texas Tech 6, Florida 3

The Gators are the defending champions, but they were no match for the timely hitting and relief pitching of the Red Raiders on Sunday.

Texas Tech’s bullpen allowed just two runs in seven innings, earning a critical victory and avoiding an elimination game in the process after starter Dylan Dusek allowed one run, one hit and two walks in two innings of work.

Despite the loss, Florida started the scoring in the third when Deacon Liput came across on a Ryan Shetter balk. It sent an early tone for defensive miscues, as the Red Raiders tied it the next inning when Josh Jung singled, advanced to second on a balk, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on Grant Little’s sacrifice fly.

Texas Tech took the lead for good in the fifth off more defensive mistakes when a throwing error from Liput kept the inning alive before Gabe Holt’s two-RBI single that was catchable:

Gators starter Brady Singer deserved better after allowing just two earned runs and striking out five in 6.1 innings, but five runs came across during his time on the mound. An RBI double from Zach Rheams and RBI single from Michael Davis in the sixth helped the Red Raiders break things open and provided enough cushion to survive Nelson Maldonado’s two-run homer.

Holt provided some insurance with an RBI single in the ninth, which was more than enough with Shetter and Ty Harpenau on the hill.

Shetter finished with seven strikeouts while allowing a run and three hits in 4.1 innings, and Harpenau closed the final 2.2 frames with three strikeouts to go with one hit and one run allowed.
