Missouri eliminated in NCAA Regional

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Jay Sawatski had seven strikeouts in six innings to help Arkansas make the regional final in a rematch with Wichita State.

The Razorbacks (41-22) scored three runs in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings to eliminate Missouri (38-23-1). Blake Parker, Danny Hamblin, Scott Hode and Haas Pratt each had two RBIs.

Missouri scored six runs in the ninth off reliever James Gilbert, including a three-run home run by Jeremy Hernandez.

Earlier in the day, Cody Ehlers had four RBIs as Missouri beat Le Moyne 11-3 to stay alive in the tournament.

Ehlers scored a runner from third with an infield single in the second inning, then hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning.

The loss eliminated Le Moyne (36-21) from the tournament.

Garrett Broshuis (11-0) earned the win for the Tigers, pitching a complete game in which he allowed three earned runs on eight hits. He struck out six and issued no walks.

"Our guys really have a lot of confidence with Garrett Broshuis right now," Missouri coach Tim Jamieson said. "That confidence carries all the way down to our hitting."

Alan Drechsler (10-1) was tagged with the loss. He pitched only 1 2-3 innings, giving up four earned runs on four hits.

The Tigers ended the second inning up 4-0 and added to that margin with Ehlers' homer in the fourth. It was his 18th of the season.ATLANTA REGIONAL
