Arkansas becomes new No. 1 in D1 Baseball & Baseball America polls

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Arkansas (30-3), Texas and LSU (30-3) are the consensus top three teams in the D1Baseball.com and Baseball America polls.

The Razorbacks bumped Tennessee out of the No. 1 spot. They’ve won a program-record 11 straight SEC games after sweeping Missouri. Tennessee, which got a combined no-hitter from Liam Doyle and Dylan Loy in a 10-0 win over Texas A&M on Friday, dropped the last two games of the series at home.

LSU (30-3) moved in behind Texas after sweeping Oklahoma on the road.

Razorback Rout

Arkansas put together its highest-scoring SEC weekend in program history in the sweep of Missouri, winning three seven-inning games by a combined 51-9. The Razorbacks won 21-3 on Saturday and swept a doubleheader 14-4 and 16-2 on Sunday. The 51 runs were scored over 18 innings since Arkansas, the home team, didn’t bat in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The Razorbacks have won a program-record 11 straight SEC games. Missouri (11-20, 0-12 SEC) is out to its worst-ever start in conference play.
