LSU tacked on another run on a 2-out RBI single by Luis Hernandez in the bottom of the third and teams were called off the field after the Bruins recorded the next out. Arkansas (49-14) lost 4-1 to LSU (49-15) on Saturday in the CWS opener for both teams. UCLA (48-16) defeated Murray State 6-4 in its first CWS game.

As LSU is hopeful, Arkansas is potentially cursed. But are the Razorbacks done? Monday is an important day in Omaha.

In a cruel stroke of irony, it was LSU that battled the Arkansas pitchers into submission, not the other way around. The Tigers had 11 two-strike foul balls to extend at-bats and run Arkansas' pitch count up.
