No. 4 Arkansas proved too much for Texas in game one of the Super Regionals. The Hogs move one game away from the 2022 Women’s College World Series with the 7-1 victory over the Longhorns.
Texas’ Hailey Dolcini and Arkansas’ Chenise Delce took a 0-0 pitchers duel into the fifth inning. The Arkansas bats finally got to Dolcini and exploded for seven runs in the final two frames of the game. Hannah Gammill brought in the game’s first run and the Hogs never looked back.
Texas loaded the bases in both the fifth and seventh innings but only pushed across one run, falling 7-1.
The loss marked the third straight season Texas has dropped game one of a Super Regional.
Game two will take place tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN 2. Texas needs a win to fight off elimination and force a winner-take-all game three.
