Wehiwa Aloys big hits, Zach Roots strong start help Arkansas oust UCLA from the CWS with a 7-3 win

Toronto, OHSports

Arkansas secured a 7-3 victory over UCLA, eliminating the Bruins from the College World Series, with Wehiwa Aloy driving in three runs through a home run and a triple. Zach Root rebounded from a dismal outing against LSU to pitch five strong innings, limiting UCLA to just three hits. The Razorbacks established an early lead, scoring three runs before adding four more in the late innings. This win marks the end of UCLA's season, concluding their first trip back to Omaha since their 2013 national championship, with a 2-2 record. Reliever Aiden Jiminez effectively held the Bruins scoreless for three innings, showing the Razorbacks' strong pitching depth.

Despite a ninth-inning rally from UCLA, which capitalized on defensive errors, the game remained in Arkansas's control. The Razorbacks now prepare to face SEC rival LSU, needing two wins to reach the CWS finals. Root's performance and Aloy’s offensive prowess will be critical as Arkansas aims to overcome their regular-season challenges against the Tigers.
