The college baseball season is coming to a close, but Arkansas has guaranteed itself at least two more games - possibly three - by clinching a spot in the College World Series finals.
With the best-of-three championship series not beginning until Monday, HawgBeat decided to go through the school record book and see where this team and its players rank in UA history.
Obviously some of these numbers could change between now and next Wednesday, but some records have already fallen. Here is a look at all of them, using the media guide as a reference:
