College baseball’s top teams will be doing battle with an assortment of foes (including the weather) on Saturday, as series play continues (much of it conference action). The only CB360 top-50 team not slated to be in action on Saturday is #9 Oklahoma, which split a Friday DH at Missouri in near-freezing temperatures and will look to win the series on Sunday.
Saturday’s schedule features 43 games involving CB360 top-50 teams, with the same 10 head-to-head matchups as on Friday (plus four doubleheaders). front-page photo courtesy of Arkansas
