I believe 2 wins to be safe. 
 

Im rooting for Arky today over LSU. That will essentially knock out LSU from race. LSU plays South Carolina next series so I am assuming a sweep. Arky plays Tennessee so more likely to drop a game or two there

Always win on Sunday.  Then win the series against them wagons and leave no doubt who is king of this conference.

[CJ Vogel]

Time to win a series.

What is the combination of wins and losses? Texas wins and Arkansas/LSU losses?

[Jeff Howe]

Flores hit Boser with the game's first pitch, but battled back and struck out Lawson.

That's two quick outs after Heyman flies out to center.

[Jeff Howe]

Evans beats the shift, driving one the other way that gets by Schuessler and into right field.

Florida has first and third with two outs.

[Jeff Howe]

Florida tries a double steal. Not ideal defense by Texas, but it works out with Rodriguez firing the ball to Galvan to get the runner trying to score from third. The inning ends with no runs for the Gators as Flores gets out of the jam.
