Arkansas Razorbacks Push Forward in College World Series with 7-3 Victory Over UCLA
June 18, 2025
In a crucial do-or-die encounter at the College World Series, the Arkansas Razorbacks showcased their resilience, clinching a 7-3 win against UCLA. This victory marked the second win for the Razorbacks in the series, keeping their championship hopes alive as they move forward in the tournament.
Starting pitcher Zach Root delivered a stellar performance, rebounding from previous struggles to pitch five shutout innings. Root allowed only three hits, struck out five, and walked two, effectively negating a bases-loaded situation in the first inning. His 87-pitch outing laid a solid foundation for Arkansas, letting them play with an early lead.
The Razorbacks struck first in the opening inning, thanks to a powerful 377-foot, two-run homer from Golden Spikes finalist Wehiwa Aloy. Aloy continued to shine throughout the game, later contributing a critical triple that extended Arkansas’s lead.
After Root exited, Aiden Jimenez stepped in and maintained the momentum, tossing three scoreless innings, further easing the burden on the Razorbacks’ bullpen. Arkansas added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings, including a double from Logan Maxwell that brought in two more runs, taking the lead to 7-0.
As they advance in the tournament, Arkansas will face LSU, with the Tigers needing just one win to progress to the finals. In contrast, the Razorbacks must secure two victories to keep their championship dreams alive.
The Razorbacks showed grit and determination, making it clear they’re not done yet in Omaha. Fans can tune into FuboTV for continued coverage of the action.
