Dylan Leach has hit
@RazorbackBSB
's second cycle in as many years, both coming against UCA.
Before last year's cycle from Robert Moore, the Hogs had not hit once since 1994.
LBs Bumper Pool, Grant Morgan and Hayden Henry all rank in the top 10 among SEC defenders in tackles per game this season:
2. Pool - 10.0
5. Morgan - 8.0
7. Henry - 7.8
@RazorbackFB
is the SEC's only team with multiple players in the top 10 in tackles per game.
RB Raheim Sanders is one of seven SEC players since 2000 to record 100+ rushing yards, 1+ rushing TD, 70+ receiving yards and 1+ receiving TD in a game.
Notes from tonight's 11-1 win over Auburn in the College World Series:
- Freshman Peyton Stovall's career-high 5 hits are the most by any player in the history of The Chuck and the most in the CWS since 2009
- Arkansas hit .444 (8-18) with 2 outs, driving in 10 runs
Entering today's game at Mizzou, RB Raheim Sanders needs 98 yards to win the SEC rushing title.
The last time an Arkansas player accomplished the feat was 2007, when RB Darren McFadden ran for a school-record 1,830 yards.
Since 2000, only two SEC defenders have totaled 10+ tackles with 2+ sacks, 2+ forced fumbles and at least one pass breakup in a game.
LB Drew Sanders is one of them.

@RazorbackFB
now has four 500-yard rushers this season: RB Trelon Smith, QB KJ Jefferson, RB Dominique Johnson, RB Raheim Sanders.
The Razorbacks last had four 500-yard rushers in a season in 1975: RB Ike Forte, RB Jerry Eckwood, RB Rolland Fuchs, QB Scott Bull.
Since 1998, KJ Jefferson is the third Arkansas quarterback, along with Ryan Mallett and Brandon Allen, to post a completion percentage of 80.0 or better on 20+ pass attempts.
Jefferson completed 19-of-23 passes (82.6%) for 191 yards and a touchdown in yesterday's win.
JD Notae is 24 points shy of 1,000 scored in an Arkansas uniform.
He would become the 45th Razorback to score 1,000 points and the sixth to do it in two seasons.
K Cam Little is the only kicker in the country who has not missed a field goal on at least eight attempts.
His eight made field goals are tied for second in the FBS and the most among freshman kickers.
