    created an unbelievable atmosphere

    Aaron Fitt of Baseball America in the 8th inning when Arky replaced Daniel on the mound by Oliver

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    The depth of this @RazorbackBSB
    staff is absurd. Trent Daniel was 86-90
    with a good 80-81 slider from left
    side. Chris Oliver is 94-96. Phew

    More from Aaron Fitt of Baseball America on today's game:

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 6h
    An Arkansas fan has been hollering,
    "No batter!" at Alex Bregman all
    weekend. I beg to differ: just hit a
    laser over LF fence for 2-run HR.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 5h
    Entertaining game here at Baum.
    More great D
    from Bregman ends inning

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 5h
    I couldn't be more impressed with
    Bregman. He is as fun to watch as
    Trea Turner. Hits everything hard, and
    makes throw on run so well at SS.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    Attendance here at Baum, for a
    Sunday game in gorgeous (if windy)
    weather: 9,248. This has been a really
    fun weekend.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    Chris Oliver's retired all 5 hitters he's
    faced, looked great doing it. 94-96,
    touched 97, w/ hard slider at 85-86.
    Will be 2014 draft stud.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    Bourgeois was good -
    located 88-91 fastball well, mixed in
    that big slow curve to keep hitters off
    balance.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    Chris Cotton works a 1-2-3 ninth, and
    we've got free baseball in Fayetteville.
    For those of us hoping to see Colby
    Suggs, the dream lives on

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 4h
    At least I got to see Colby Suggs,
    who was 94-96, 98, w/ nasty 85-86
    SL. But LSU jumped on his FB: Bregman
    single on 98, Rhymes rbi single on 96

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 3h
    Cotton works a quick 10th to secure
    LSU's 5-3 win, taking series. Great
    game

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 3h
    Well this was a fantastic weekend—
    amazing atmosphere, got to see tons
    of great arms. 1 convincing win by
    each team, intense 10 innings today


    @aaronfitt Hogs can play with anybody.

    Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 3h
    I agree (even if they might drop out of
    top 10 this week).

    LSU stays at #2 in the USA today poll, losing all the first place votes they gained from last weekend's sweep.

    It's been very rare to see 4 teams atop the polls this late into the season, all with 5 losses or less.

    Isn't that something? We win 2/3 on the road against the team with arguably the best staff, top to bottom, in college baseball, and somehow, we not only don't gain any additional votes for No 1, we lose the ones we had. Tough crowd. Guess they wanted to see us run the table. Or match the '08 team with 20something consecutive wins. Oh well, I want to be no. 1 at the end of the season, so NC can have it for now.

    Hell yes, it's the final poll that counts.
