The ONLY scenario in which UALR does not move into the championship game is if FAU beats Troy and UALR.
I tried to come up with a scenario in which a 3 way tie would come up (which UALR would then lose the tiebreaker), but that would require an 0-3 team and the only team capable of being 0-3 in Pool A is FAU. A 3 way tie would require FAU beating UALR, but then that means no team in Pool A would be 0-3 and therefore you cannot have a 3 way tie.
The only tiebreaker (head to head) that UALR can lose is to FAU and that's only if FAU beats Troy tonight.

Troy could in theory finish 0-3 should they lose out to Western and FAU...
If FAU beats Troy and UALR, and WKU beats Troy. WKU, FAU and UALR would all be 2-1, and WKU would win the pool.
If Troy wins tonight, then UALR will have already clinched a title game berth and its not even Friday yet.
Troy is eliminated from Title contention

UALR clinches the Pool A title as Troy beats FAU 9-6
Trojans will play FAU in a meaningless game on Saturday...Im curious as to how they'll set their pitching up, with an off day tomorrow and then a pseudo game Saturday.

If I was Little Rock I'd pitch a bullpen catcher against FAU.

You know the say catchers make the best pitchers.
