So much happened so late last night at Rosenblatt Stadium that I wasn’t able to get everything into today’s print edition of the Morning News, or onto our Web site. Arkansas’ improbable 4-3 victory in 12 innings over Virginia extended its College World Series stay until Friday and occurred because of so many different interesting events. Thought I’d wake up and fill you all in on some interesting notes and quotes.

Here’s a link to my game story from the Razorbacks’ second CWS win since 1989.

• First off, it looks highly possible that senior Ben Tschepikow’s collegiate career is over. He was hit by a Danny Hultzen pitch in the left hand in the sixth inning and broke his left ring finger. Tschepikow stayed in the game but was lifted by Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn in favor of Travis Sample in the eighth. Why? The Fayetteville native simply couldn’t swing the bat. Van Horn said it’s not out of the question that Tschepikow would play Friday against LSU. But he wasn’t optimistic, saying after Arkansas’ news conference that the finger was turning black.

“If Ben wants to play, I’ll play him,” Van Horn said, initially trying to be positive. “He’s a senior and been here for five years. He’s been injured and really it’s all about if he can swing the bat. But it’s probably not going to happen for him on Friday.”

• Senior outfielder Andrew Darr said he went around the dugout asking for advice about hitting against Virginia reliever Andrew Carraway. Darr entered the game in the ninth as a defensive replacement and came through with the game-winning RBI double in the 12th in his only at-bat. Darr said he drew confidence from coming through in a similar pressure spot — when he clinched Arkansas’ CWS berth with his walk-off 2-run double at Florida State.

“I came off the bench and just wanted to get something going,” said Darr, who upped his average to .257. “I just wanted to see some pitches and have a good at-bat. I was looking for something up in the zone the entire at-bat. It turned into a battle, and I finally got the curveball I was looking for.”

• There hasn’t been a more gutsy performance in this CWS than Dallas Keuchel’s relief outing, in my mind. The junior left-hander came out of the bullpen — his first relief appearance this season — and threw 66 pitches, tossing four scoreless innings to earn his ninth win this season. Keuchel said he prepared all game like he would be needed to pitch down the stretch. And once he came in, for closer Steven Richards with no outs and runners on first and second, Keuchel battled like he has all season. He got out of jams in every inning, relying on an improved slider, a pitch Keuchel said he perfected during his bullpen warmup. He struck out five in his four frames, including the side in the 12th.

“I was just telling myself out there that this team has been through so much, and I wasn’t going to let them go out like that,” Keuchel said. “I just had to make one pitch at a time, and they were swinging. I had the slider going and got some swings and misses.

“It’s something you definitely dream about, something I’ve thought about so much, playing in the World Series with something on the line like (Wednesday night). I was focused from pitch one and tried to stay on an even keel.”

• A funny exchange happened during last night’s postgame news conference. A reporter asked Brett Eibner if he had hit a bigger home run in his lifetime — and Eibner actually thought about it! He hemmed and hawed for a few seconds before finally laughing and saying, “Not the College World Series.” Indeed, Eibner’s two-out, two-run home run — after Zack Cox’s two-strike single kept the inning alive — will be a moment the sophomore from Houston will never forget.

• Lastly, Van Horn said he had no idea who would start on the mound for Arkansas in its 1 p.m. game against LSU on Friday. The Hogs must beat the Tigers twice to advance to the best 2-of-3 championship series, and their pitching staff isn’t exactly rested. “I’d say Drew Smyly (who threw 4.2 quality innings Wednesday night with seven strikieouts) is the only guy who won’t pitch Friday. Dallas has already told me he’s ready to pitch, but maybe we won’t go there. I’d say everyone’s available except our starter today. I don’t know about Dallas.”
