Tennessee baseball will not repeat as College World Series champions after losing to Arkansas in two games in the Fayetteville Super Regional.

Tennessee baseball is chasing another College World Series appearance. The Vols face Arkansas in the Fayetteville Super Regional. Follow live updates.

Arkansas ended Tennessee’s reign as champions with an 11-4 win Sunday, which came one day after the Razorbacks edged the Vols 4-3. UT (46-19) is now 2-13 under coach Tony Vitello against Arkansas since 2018, and the Vols are 1-10 at Walker-Baum Stadium during that stretch.

The Vols take on Arkansas in the Fayetteville Super Regional, which starts June 7 (5 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Baum-Walker Stadium. Tennessee (46-17) is in a super regional for a fifth straight season, the longest streak in the nation.

Arkansas is a balanced team that plays excellent defense, hits the ball really well and has great pitching. Yet, April was not good to the Razorbacks. It appeared they might be trending in the wrong direction when they lost three conference series in a row before breaking the drought with a sweep of Texas on the first weekend of May.

Arkansas ranks sixth in the Southeastern Conference and No. 18 overall in the penultimate 2024-25 Learfield Directors’ Cup Standings released on Tuesday by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of America (NACDA).
