Outside of Coastal Carolina’s wholesome-like victory to reach the Men’s College World Series for the first time since 2016, there wasn’t much other major movement in the 2025 NCAA tournament super regionals.
Eight teams played Game 1 of their series, while six teams prepared to play Game 3 the following day.
Day 3 was a completely different monster, where six teams secured their spot in Omaha — three for the first time in five or more years. Let’s take a look at how it happened.
Arkansas takes down reigning national champions in Tennessee
Baum-Walker was on the brink of an explosion in the fourth inning on Sunday.
Leading 3-0 with the bases loaded, Arkansas right fielder Logan Maxwell readied for a chance to break the game open. Beer hats filled the stands, and the Razorbacks faithful rose to their feet, knowing that their team was due. Seven out of the nine times Arkansas has scored four or fewer runs, they followed it up with a six-plus run performance.
Three pitches into the at-bat, Maxwell blew the hinges off the stadium’s door.
He sent his first career grand slam just inches over the left field wall to break the game open and give the Razorbacks a 7-0 lead. It set the table for an 11-4 win, sending Arkansas back to the MCWS for the first time since 2022, sweeping the reigning national champions in Tennessee in two games.

The victory reflected Arkansas’ dominant tournament run, going 5-0 in the regionals and super regionals combined and outscoring their opponents 41-13. They jumped on Volunteers ace left-hander Liam Doyle early, forcing Tennessee to turn to its bullpen in the third inning with bases loaded — two batters before Maxwell’s blast — leading to the game-changing blast.
The Razorbacks will head to Omaha as the highest-ranked national seed left standing, seeking their first national championship in their 12th appearance.
