Arkansas had a 3-0 lead early, before Texas Tech scored four in a row off three home runs to take the 4-3 lead. The Razorbacks tied it up at four in the top of the eighth before Masters' RBI gave the Red Raiders back the lead for good.
The teams combined to hit four home runs, tying the most in a single game in CWS history at TD Ameritrade Park.
The 4 home runs in today's CWS game ties a park record. It's been done 5 times previously, including 4 other CWS games.#CWSStats
