The Arkansas Razorbacks scored in the top of the first and Stanford answered with a home run in the bottom of the inning and that’s as close as the game would be on Saturday.

I think Texas Longhorns stats aficionado Kyle Umlang described this game the best.
May God have mercy on the souls of the fan base that loses this Elimination Game.
Not only is it between Texas and A&M for the first time in #CWS History, but it’s also played on Father’s Day.
We will finally find out who daddy is 🤦🏽♂️

What more can we add to that, except another seeded team will be eliminated from the tournament Sunday afternoon.

Like the Oklahoma Sooners, Notre Dame has been on fire of late. They swept through the Statesboro regional and then took two of three from the No. 1 team in the nation Tennessee. Notre Dame has shown to have strong pitching. Will that be enough to slow down the Oklahoma Sooners’ offense?

The NCAA tournament had already lost the No. 1, 3, and 4 seeds prior to the College World Series. Will Stanford be the next top seed to fall?
