Arkansas (46-13) punched its ticket to the super regional round with an 8-3 win against Creighton (43-16) Sunday night at Baum-Walker Stadium in the NCAA Fayetteville Regional title game. The Hogs, who set a program record with their 35th home win of the season, will host the super regional set to begin either Friday, June 6, or Saturday, June 7, against the winner of tomorrow’s NCAA Knoxville Regional title game between Tennessee (45-17) and Wake Forest (39-21).

Wood struck out a career-high 13 batters in his six innings of three-run ball, while Gaeckle fanned seven over three shutout innings.
