FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Chad Spanberger hit a go-ahead, solo home run in the
seventh inning to help Arkansas rally from three runs down and stay alive in the
NCAA Tournament with a 4-3 win over Oral Roberts on Sunday night.
Spanberger’s home run was his 20th of the season for the top-seeded Razorbacks
(44-18), and it was his sixth in the last two weeks _ following five in five
games at last week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament.
Arkansas will next face second-seeded Missouri State later on Sunday night,
needing to defeat the Bears twice to advance to next week’s super regionals.
The Golden Eagles (43-16) took a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning, aided by
back-to-back home runs from Noah Cummings and Brent Williams.
The Razorbacks rallied with three runs in the fifth, and Josh Alberius (3-4)
earned the win in relief.
Trevor McCutchin (1-1) took the loss for Oral Roberts.
