Arkansas RHP Ryne Stanek was tremendous tonight. Consistent command, struck out four, allowed just 5 H in 7 IP. Topped out an easy 98

As expected, in a pitching showdown, Arkansas reliever Barrett Astin closes out #Rice in a very impressive 1-0 win. All pitchers A

Here's a statistic:  Rice is 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position in this Houston Regional. Not going to do much with that

Very-business like win for Florida. Hudson Randall allowed a run in 5 2/3 innings, while Steven Rodriguez was great in relief, 6-2 over Georgia Tech.

-  P Ryne Stanek and Rice P Austin Kubitza looked like big time arms they are
