They call them the Omahogs. 

Outfielder Charles Davalan (Montreal, Que.) and the Arkansas Razorbacks are off to Omaha, Neb. for the College World Series this week thanks to a 2-0 sweep of Southeastern Conference foe Tennessee in the Super Regional. 

Davalan was a key contributor in the two games, going 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in a 4-3 Game 1 win. 

Game 2 saw him hit a two-run home run off top 2025 MLB draft prospect Liam Doyle to open the scoring en route to an 11-4 victory. He also walked twice and was hit by a pitch. 

Arkansas returns to the College World Series for the 12th time but is in search of their first championship. 

They were the runner-up in 1979 and 2018. 

Charles Davalan is the Canadian Baseball Network College Player of the Week for June 2 to 8.
