River Valley Now

The leader in online local news for the Arkansas River Valley

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Last night Arkansas-born @jimranger introduced a new single titled “Last” on the first of a two-night finale of NBC’s The Voice.

Do you think this could be a radio hit?!

Dear RSD family; We are aware of the threat on social Media referencing a school shooting in Arkansas to take place on August 29th. This was a general message and did not specify RSD in any way, however we will be working with local and state law enforcement.

Two on and no outs. Top three batters up for Arkansas and they leave them stranded to end the ballgame. Absolute heartbreak. Hogs are done in Omaha.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Hogs have a runner in scoring position! Nesbit beaned and Franklin pokes one into right and it’s Ezell up with none out. Gotta be now.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Last chance for Arkansas to extend their College World Series stay. Three outs to score at least one run. It’s 5-4 and 8-9-1 up for the Hogs.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

And just like that it’s snatched. It’s 5-4 Tech.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

That steal attempt made no sense, but I’m glad it happened. Strikeout on the next pitch. Uncle Mo may have shifted back to Arkansas!

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

YOU CANNOT RUN ON CASEY OPITZ! He hoses the runner trying to steal by 5 feet! Good lord what a cannon.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Nearly 115,000 fans have seen College World Series action so far. Today’s Arkansas-TTU crowd is over 19,000.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

TIE GAME! Kenley comes through after a BATTLE of an at-bat and scores Fletcher with a sac fly to square it at 4-4 here in the top of the 8th. Hogs fans FINALLY back in this one.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Clutch hit by Kjerstad! Moves Fletcher to third with one out. Kenley up.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Dominic Fletcher works a walk and Kjerstad gets a chance with 1 out top 8. May be Arkansas’ last chance.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Heart of Arkansas’ lineup is coming up in the top of the 8th. Matt Goodheart, Fletcher, Kjerstad. TTU bringing in a lefty (Dane Haveman: 1-1, 2.57 ERA)

[SEC Network @SECNetwork]

COUNT 'EM

Casey Martin has 1️⃣2️⃣ career hits in the #CWS ... most in @RazorbackBSB history 😤

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Base hit started the bottom of the 7th for TTU & Jacob Kostyshock relieves Kopps. Still 4-3 Tech, who has a runner on first.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Hogs leave another runner stranded & it’s still 4-3 as we stretch at TD Ameritrade Park.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Big hit for Ezell on Killian’s 100th pitch brings up Casey Martin, who is 2-3!

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

ANOTHER homer for TTU, this one by Josh Jung, and Tech leads 4-3. Danger zone for Arkansas.

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Hogs strand Kjerstad and the momentum has officially switched TT’s way, unfortunately. Here’s hoping the Hogs can recover!

[River Valley Now @rivervalleynow]

Can’t complain. Unless the Hogs lose 😬
