No. 14 Tennessee Faces No. 3 Arkansas in Fayetteville Super Regional

The Tennessee Volunteers baseball team, seeded No. 14 nationally, will face No. 3 Arkansas in the NCAA Super Regional starting Saturday at 5 p.m. ET in Fayetteville, with Games 2 and 3 scheduled for Sunday and Monday, respectively, both to be broadcast on ESPN. Tennessee advanced to the Super Regional round for the fifth consecutive year after a decisive Game 7 victory over Wake Forest, while Arkansas swept through its Fayetteville Regional. The teams recently met in a regular-season series in Fayetteville, with Arkansas winning two out of three games. Tennessee is seeking to become the first team to repeat as national champions since South Carolina in 2010-2011, while Arkansas aims to return to the College World Series for the first time since 2022. The matchup features strong offensive and pitching statistics for both teams and includes significant MLB Draft prospects, with Tennessee having eight top prospects and Arkansas five. Tennessee’s starting catcher Cannon Peebles will miss the first game due to ejection in the Wake Forest series.
