Share this story
Legendary Arkansas baseball coach Norm DeBriyn’s 1979 team put the Razorbacks on the national scene.
That season, they were the regular season Southwest Conference champions with a 19-5 SWC record (Tournament runner-up) and won the school’s first regional title before eventually finishing as the runner-up in the College World Series to Cal State Fullerton.
Led by Steve Kruegar, Kevin McReynolds, Ronn Reynolds, Johnny Ray, and Ed Wallace, the
Hogs went on a tear acheiving the best record in school history by a long shot at the time (won 36 of their first 40 games).
