The start to Arkansas’ baseball season couldn’t be much better. On Sunday, the Diamond Hogs will look to clinch their season-opening series against.
The fourth-ranked Razorbacks will host James Madison in game three of the teams’ four-game set from Baum-Walker Stadium. Arkansas won the opener Friday, 6-4, then rolled the Bulldogs, 15-5, in the second game of the series Saturday.
Every Arkansas position player had at least one hit in the double-digit eight-inning win Saturday. Centerfielder Ty Wilmsmeyer, in his first season with the Razorbacks after transferring from Missouri, had three knocks, including a home run, and two runs with five RBI.
That was more than enough for starter Brady Tygart. Arkansas’ right-hander allowed just one run on two hits and two walks in five innings to pick up the victory.
Once the Diamond Hogs are finished with James Madison, they hit the road for three games in Arlington, Texas, next weekend against some of college baseball’s best programs in Oregon State, Oklahoma State and Michigan.
For now, the Razorbacks will seek to clinch the series against JMU. Here’s how to catch the action.
