Arkansas edged New Mexico in an 11-inning thriller, but there were eight other games on Thursday that saw top-50 teams in the most recent CB360 Composite National Rankings suffer upset lossses. (Note that the CNR referenced below is from April 7; next update, featuring more factors in the forumla, coming later today/note that several teams listed below may be dropping out of the CNR).  (front-page photo courtesy of Arkansas)

Despite there being only 24 games on Tuesday (April 13) involving CB360 top-50 teams, there still were six head-to-head showdowns between top-50 squads (along with the equally noteworthy eight upsets). In addition to #6 Arkansas holding off #37 New Mexico (4-3 in 11; both teams scored 2R in the 10th), Tuesday’s other marquee matchups included: at #8 Texas 6,  #42 Texas State 5 (‘Horns scored 3UER in 8th) … at #10 Florida State 3, #9 Florida 2 (FSU won 3-of-4 in the season series) … at #13 Coastal Carolina 7,  #33 The Citadel 3 …  at #17 TCU 6, #26 Texas A&M 1 … and #21 UC Irvine 4, at #49 San Diego 3 (12 inn.).

FSU’s win over Florida technically was an update (based on the most recent CNR), but there were seven other results that produce more noteworthy upsets: at Memphis 6,  #16 Mississippi 5 … at Oklahoma State 7,  #20 Oklahoma 6 … Samford 7,  at #22 Alabama 5 … at South Carolina-Upstate 11,  #28 College of Charleston 10 (first college baseball game ever between those schools) … at BYU 15,  #29 Kansas State 9 … and at Nebraska 14,  #46 Wichita State 0. Prior to the Tuesday-night games, CB360 cited three games as potential upsets (OK St.-OU; NEB-WICH; and BYU-KU) and all three of the underdogs ended up winning.

Note: there was only one game on Monday (April 12) involving a CB360 top-50 team, as #25 Arizona won 5-4 at Gonzaga (Final StatsAZ RecapGON Recap).
