Arkansas falls to Florida State in College World Series
OMAHA, Neb. (KAIT) - Two players were the story Saturday night as Arkansas and Florida State had a pitchers duel in the College World Series.
Isaiah Campbell struck out 10 in 7 shutout innings but J.C. Flowers won it for the Seminoles with his feet & glove. Flowers was hit by a pitch, broke up a double play, then scored on a sacrifice fly in the 9th inning. He notched the save in the bottom half in a 1-0 FSU victory.
