Arkansas drops Game 1 of CWS to LSU, 4-1

The No. 3-seed Arkansas Razorbacks (48-14, 20-10 SEC) lost Game 1 of the College World Series to the 6-seed LSU Tigers (49-15, 19-11 SEC) on Saturday, 4-1, at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. Ace left-hander Zach Root's day ended before it really began, as the southpaw made it through just 1.2 innings before getting pulled. After a 1-2-3 top of the first, LSU got two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch to scratch across three earned runs against Root in the second.
