The Arkansas Razorbacks beat the Oklahoma State Cowgirls 12-0 in six innings in the Fayetteville Regional on Sunday. There wasn't much drama as the Razorbacks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first and run ruled OSU in the 6th, but things did get kind of weird early in the final half-inning when the first base umpire turned his back and briefly stopped paying attention in the middle of a play at his own bag.
Arkansas shortstop Atalyia Rijo hit the ball down the first base line where it hit in fair territory and then appeared to bounce off the outside of the bag before it was fielded by OSU's Karli Godwin. While home plate umpire Steve Gould called the ball fair, first base umpire Bobby DeMayo turned his back to the play and started to walk away.
