3) College Player and Pitcher of the Week

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25493715-scaled-e1746626442786-768x432.jpg

Just one week after falling to Florida, Arkansas roared back with a massive statement at home, sweeping No. 1 Texas in dominant fashion: 9-0, 6-1, and 13-8. The Hogs were surgical from start to finish, improving to 28-3 at Baum-Walker and securing their 40th win.
Zach Root was brilliant in the opener, striking out 11 over eight shutout innings while allowing just two hits. Offensively, the Hogs exploded early behind a two-run shot from Carson Boles, a three-run bomb from Cam Kozeal, and a four-run fourth inning. Will McEntire closed out the two-hit shutout to open the weekend in style.
Game 2 was all about balance. In just his third start back from injury, Gage Wood punched out nine in four innings of one-run ball. Kuhio Aloy delivered the big blow with a three-run double, and Arkansas added insurance runs on a hit-by-pitch and walk with the bases loaded.
The finale turned into a slugfest, and Reese Robinett took center stage. He homered twice and drove in a career-high six runs, including a go-ahead three-run blast in the fifth. Arkansas launched five home runs total and never let Texas claw back. Dylan Carter and Christian Foutch closed it down as the Razorbacks secured their first-ever sweep of the Longhorns.

4) #6 Arkansas Shocks #1 Texas with Dominant Sweep

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25643552-scaled-e1746626480959-768x432.jpg

There’s still no clear frontrunner in the ACC, but Florida State continues to strengthen its case. The ‘Noles opened the top-five showdown with a dramatic 6–5 walk-off win in 11 innings, thanks to heroics from Max Williams, who homered in the 10th and then delivered the walk-off single an inning later.
Jamie Arnold gave the ‘Noles six strong innings of one-run ball, and the offense came alive late with clutch RBI knocks from James Hankerson Jr., Gage Harrelson, and Cal Fisher. Peyton Prescott earned the win in extras to push FSU’s record to 4-0 in extra-inning games this season.

5) #4 Florida State Walks Off Clemson in Wild Series Win

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25669879-scaled-e1746626520701-768x432.jpg

Momentum continues to elude teams in the ACC. Just as Louisville climbed back into the rankings, they dropped a key road series to Notre Dame.
After the Cards won the opener 3–2 behind strong pitching and a spark from Zion Rose, the Irish came storming back. Carson Tinney exploded in game two with a 4-for-5 night, a homer, and three RBI, while Rory Fox turned in seven solid innings on the mound. Notre Dame closed the weekend with a 7–4 win in the rubber match behind another fast start and a clutch homer from Tinney.
The Irish have won three straight ACC series and sit 12–15 in league play heading into the home stretch.

6) Notre Dame Upsets #23 Louisville in Key ACC Series

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_25588470-e1746626562508-768x432.jpg

UC San Diego made a significant statement in the Big West, taking the first two games on the road against hosting-hopeful UC Irvine.
The opener was a 19-4 blowout, powered by four-hit nights from Michael Crossland and Colton Lomanto, who combined for eight RBI and two homers. Matthew Dalquist backed it up with seven solid innings.
Game two saw Nic Gregson and Spencer Seid dominate on the mound, combining for a four-hit shutout. A 4-0 final sealed the series, dropping Irvine eight spots in RPI and putting pressure on them to win out against a favorable remaining schedule.

7) UC San Diego Stuns UC Irvine on the Road

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_23359812-scaled-e1746626613644-768x432.jpg

No one in the ACC is hotter than Miami, and they showed it again with a series win over surging NC State.
Daniel Cuvet starred in game one with two homers and five RBI, while Jake Ogden pulled off a straight steal of home. The bullpen was nails, retiring 11 of 12 batters to seal the 6–4 win.
Game two was even more decisive. AJ Ciscar spun 6.2 scoreless innings, and the top four hitters in Miami’s order combined for 10 hits and eight RBI. Cuvet went 3-for-3 with 3 RBI and two walks, while Dorian Gonzalez Jr. added four RBI of his own. Miami cruised to a 10–3 win before game three was washed out with the Canes up 2–0 in the third.
At 14–9 in ACC play, Miami is rolling at just the right time.

8) #18 Miami Keeps Rolling, Wins Series vs. #24 NC State

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_26093354-1-scaled-e1746626657156-768x432.jpg

Auburn has quietly turned into one of the SEC’s most consistent forces. The Tigers took two of three from Tennessee, dominating both games they won and outplaying the Vols in every phase.
Samuel Dutton continued his breakout with 6.2 innings of one-run ball in the opener, backed by early homers from Ike Irish, Chris Rembert, and Cooper McMurray. A weather delay pushed the rest of the game to Saturday, but Auburn stayed locked in, cruising to a 6–1 win.
After a wild game two walk-off loss, the Tigers bounced back with an 8–1 win in the rubber match. Christian Chatterton and Cade Fisher combined to limit Tennessee to one run over seven innings, while the Auburn offense slapped nine singles and forced the Vols to play from behind all day.
Auburn has won eight of its last ten SEC series and is in the national seed conversation.

9) Auburn Dominates #10 Tennessee on the Road

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/USATSI_20001461-1-scaled-e1746626696748-768x432.jpg

After dropping a series to Texas Tech, Arizona needed a response — and they got it, taking two of three from TCU to stay atop the Big 12.
Aaron Walton hit two home runs in the opener, while the bullpen threw four scoreless innings to secure the 6–3 win. Game two was another tight one, but Brendan Summerhill’s go-ahead sac fly in the eighth made the difference in a 5–4 comeback win.
TCU salvaged the finale 13–6, but Arizona improved to 15–8 in Big 12 play with seven games to go, keeping them in the mix for a hosting spot and a conference title.
