The Arkansas Razorbacks are Super Regional bound for the fourth time in program history and first since 2022. It will be the third time the Razorbacks (43-12) have hosted in the past five seasons, the other two were in consecutive years in 2021-2022.

As one of 16 teams left standing, Arkansas will host SEC foe Ole Miss (40-18) at Bogle Park in a Friday–Sunday best-of-three series. The Razorbacks dropped their SEC opening series to the Rebels in early March.

A valiant extra-inning triumph was sandwiched between two shutout run-rule victories in the Fayetteville Regional as the Razorbacks kicked off the weekend with a 10-0 rout of St Louis in five innings, then Courtney's Day's heroics sealed a walk-off win against Oklahoma State before Arkansas took care of the Pokes again Sunday with authority, 12-0 in six.
“I have an immense amount of pride for this team," Arkansas head coach Courtney Deifel said. "What they have done and continue to do, who they are, how they play and how they fight together. Tonight was phenomenal in every aspect. They set their mind to it."
