Arkansas 11, Charlotte 3; Arizona State 13, Arkansas 4 (Tempe Regional)

No. 19 Arkansas defeated Charlotte 11-3 on Sunday afternoon. In the Tempe regional championship game, the 10th-ranked Sun Devils defeated No. 19 Arkansas, 13-4, on Sunday night at Packard Stadium.

Arkansas 3, New Mexico 0 (Tempe Regional)

DJ Baxendale earned his 10th win of the year as No. 19 Arkansas stayed alive at the NCAA Tempe Regional with a 3-0 win over New Mexico on a hot Saturday afternoon at Packard Stadium.

Charlotte 3, Arkansas 2 (Tempe Regional)

Charlotte starting pitcher Andrew Smith allowed just one run on 7.1 innings as the 49ers defeated No. 19 Arkansas, 3-2, on Friday afternoon in the opener of the NCAA Tempe Regional.
