Arkansas-Little Rock posted a 9-6 win at #16 Mississippi, highlighting Wednesday’s 21 games involving teams in the top-50 of the CB360 Composite National Rankings (CNR). There were two other upsets in the CB360 top-50: St. Mary’s won 7-3 at Bay-Area rival Stanford (#23 in the CNR) while Baylor beat #47 Northwestern (La.) State, 15-3.
In the day’s only head-to-head matchup of fellow CB360 top-50 teams, #15 South Carolina defeated #28 College of Charleston, 6-3. LSU – the CNR’s #6 team – nearly lost to Southern Mississippi, but the Tigers scored twice in the bottom of the 12th for the 6-5 lead (at Zephyr Field, in Metarie, La.).
Two other CB360 top-50 teams – #22 Alabama (10-4 at Jacksonville State, in 11) and #33 The Citadel (10-8 at Winthrop) – joined LSU in posting extra-inning wins away from home. Surging Arkansas (now #6 in the CNR) only needed one inning to easily post its winning margin vs. St. Louis, as the Razorbacks scored a school-record 14 runs in the 1st inning – en route to a 30-hit, 32-8 victory.
(Note: college baseball virtually will be closed down on Thursday, with literally only a handful of games – five – scheduled for all of Division I. BYU at #37 New Mexico is the only CB360 top-50 action slated for April 8).
