Can Arkansas softball make Women's College World Series in NCAA Tournament?
Arkansas softball feels primed for a breakthrough. Will the program reach its first Women's College World Series? Here's our prediction.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas softball has turned into one of the most consistent programs in the country under head coach Courtney Deifel. All that's missing is the milestone first trip to Oklahoma City. The Razorbacks open the Fayetteville Regional and begin their NCAA Tournament journey against Fordham on Friday, May 15.
The Hogs are the No. 5 national seed and would play every game inside Bogle Park during a potential run to the Women's College World Series. Will these next two weeks be the breakthrough for Deifel at Arkansas ?
Here are two reasons the Razorbacks will be one of the final eight teams standing, one reason they won't and our official prediction. Arkansas softball's pitching depth could overwhelm opponents Robyn Herron (15-6, 1. 98 ERA), Payton Burnham (12-3, 1.
89 ERA) and Saylor Timmerman (9-2, 3. 03 ERA) are a three-headed monster in the circle. The trio of Razorbacks have all thrown more than 60 innings this season, keeping them fresh for the postseason run.
