HOG CALLS

Arkansas saw its season come to an end on Monday as they fell to TCU 12-4 at the Fayetteville Regional before 10,475 fans.

The Razorbacks were a No. 3 national seed going into the regional. However, it was TCU that showed out in Fayetteville. One day after sending Arkansas to the loser's bracket 20-5 they ended the Arkansas season. Dave Van Horn saw Arkansas (43-18) come up short of hosting a super regional next weekend.

"The first thing, I want to congratulate TCU," Van Horn said. "They were a wrecking crew, man. They were really good this weekend.

"We knew when we saw they were coming to us what we were getting into from everything we had heard. It was true, they’re really hot and they’re really tough to beat, and we’d already seen them obviously. But whatever was going on in the middle of the season, they fixed it. They’re awfully good."

On Monday, Arkansas had a great chance to gain the momentum in the top of the first. Tavian Josenberger was hit by a pitch, Jace Bohrofen walked and then Jared Wegner was also hit by a pitch to load the bases with no outs. Ben McLaughlin hit a sacrifice fly to get Josenberger in, but one run was all the Hogs could get.

"(TCU starter) Cam Brown gave us a shot in the first to get him," Van Horn said. "And what I mean by that is score probably three runs, and we only scored one. He worked his way out of it."

The Horned Frogs used a single by Austin Davis in the bottom of the second to put his team up 2-1. That lead stood until the top of the fifth.

Arkansas took a 4-2 lead in the top of the fifth. Josenberger walked. Bohrofen hit a two-run shot over the fence in center field for a 3-2 lead. Wegner followed with a solo shot. It was TCU coach Kirk Saarloos questioning himself for leaving Brown in too long.

“I told myself that I wanted to bring Ben Abeldt into the game with a lead," Saarloos said. "After (John) Bolton flew out, I think in the fifth inning to get the first out and then he walked Josenberger. My gut was telling me it was time, but I didn’t listen to my gut.

“Jace hit one off the center

ATLANTA (AP) — Only days before a contingent of Southeastern Conference coaches and administrators will ask for federal help in regulating the expanding ability of college athletes to earn money while still in school, the second annual NIL Summit delivered predictions of more dramatic changes to the landscape of college sports.

The Summit was held Saturday through Monday at the College Football Hall of Fame. Speakers at the Summit say athletes' newfound ability to earn money off their name, image and likeness has the potential to create more dramatic change in all college sports.

Max L. Forer is a partner in the field batter’s eye and then Wegner did the same thing the next at bat. I was kind of kicking myself a little bit not getting to Ben with a lead but I thought Ben was exactly what he had been. I thought he was awesome and kind of basically got our offense a chance to catch up.”

Abeldt (3-3) pitched 4.2 innings allowing just one hit, walking two and striking out four to pick up the win. His pitching made Saarloos' decision to stay with Brown maybe three hitters too long meaningless.

TCU scored a run in the bottom of the fifth to pull within 4-3. Davis hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth and the Cole Fontenelle added an RBI single giving the Horned Frogs a 6-4 lead. Kurtis Byrne hit a solo shot in the bottom of the seventh making it 7-4 for TCU.

The Horned Frogs added five

Miller Nash law firm based in Portland, Oregon. The firm is active in the rapidly expanding NIL world, and Forer said Sunday he doesn't expect federal action on the matter.

Instead, Forer said he expects schools to follow state statutes on NIL regulations. State rules can make it possible for studentathletes to benefit financially as soon as they sign letters of intent, even before stepping on campus.

"The question then lends itself to will that spur federal action," Forer said at a Summit session devoted to the legal environment for today's college athlete.

"Will this continue to go down this path where states are protecting their institutions? And more runs in the bottom of the eighth to finish the scoring. The big hits were a double by Fontenelle and home runs by Byrne and Tre Richardson, who knocked in 11 runs on Sunday.

Van Horn used five pitchers on Monday. Cody Adcock got the start. He lasted 1.1 innings before Van Horn turned to Hagen Smith, Zack Morris, Gage Wood and Christian Foutch. Morris (1-4) took the loss. He pitched 0.2 inning giving up three hits and same amount of runs. Wood, who is from Batesville, worked 1.2 innings surrendering four runs.

TCU (40-22) will now advance to the Terre Haute Super Regional and face Indiana State.

A trio of Razorbacks made the All-Regional team. They were relief pitcher Will McEntire of Bryant, outfielder Tavian Josenberger and starting pitcher Brady Tygart. what happens? And from this seat I don't think the federal government is going to act. I just think it's there's a lot going on. I think state laws will continue to stay more aggressive and the NCAA is going to have to have a decision what they're going to do."

Change can be scary, even for some SEC schools which have the potential to look even more attractive to recruits who hope to land NIL deals with eager-toplease local businesses. According to the On3 website, current 2024 college football recruiting rankings list two-time defending national champion Georgia, Alabama and Florida among the top four signing classes — and among the top four average NIL deals.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Marcus Semien had already extended his majors-best hitting streak to 24 games with two hits earlier in the game. His one-out walk in the ninth inning set the Texas Rangers up for their fourth win in a row.

"Marcus, it looks like he's having a great time. He should be with the type of baseball he's playing," Rangers manager Bruce

Bochy said. "I enjoy watching him."

Semien scored the gamewinning run on Nathaniel Lowe's sharp RBI single grounded through the left side of the infield as the AL West-leading Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Monday night.

Corey Seager followed Semien with a single, a popup to shallow left field that third baseman Nolan

Arenado chased down but was unable to catch. Lowe then delivered his opposite-field shot off left-hander Génesis Cabrera (1-1).

"I got a pitch that I could do something with, and we'll take it," Lowe said.

"Marcus with the big walk. And, you know, Corey didn't hit it hard, but he hit it in a good place there. And we had another good hitter up (Lowe)," Bochy said.
