Root (3.82 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) will pitch for the Razorbacks (49-14) during their elimination game against UCLA (48-17). First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m., but delays to that start time are possible due to an earlier game between Oregon State and Louisville, plus elevated rain and thunderstorm chances in Omaha.

The Arkansas baseball team is scheduled to play UCLA in an elimination game Tuesday night at the College World Series.

As LSU is hopeful, Arkansas is potentially cursed. But are the Razorbacks done? Monday is an important day in Omaha.

LSU left-hander Kade Anderson's masterclass performance on Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha (Neb.) lifted the Tigers to a 4-1 College World Series win over Arkansas. Anderson fired 7.0 innings of work with seven strikeouts while limiting the Razorbacks to one run during his time on the bump.
