Arkansas at Florida: Game preview, how to watch, stream, listen to Game 2 Friday

Arkansas won the teams’ opener, 8-1, but will have to beat a projected MLB starter on Friday to win the series.

When Arkansas and Florida used to meet on the SEC baseball field, it was the big time. Now, though, it’s all Hogs.

The Razorbacks and Gators are set for Game 2 of their regular-season series Friday afternoon from Gainesville, with a first pitch time of 5:30 p.m. CT, with Arkansas well ahead already.

Coach Dave Van Horn’s visiting team from Fayetteville is ranked No. 2 in the nation. The home Gators are in the midst of one of their worst SEC starts in ages, just 19-11 and 3-7 in league play. Arkansas took the first game of the set Thursday, 8-1.

Florida will go with big-time MLB prospect Brandon Sproat in trying to even the series. The right-hander is a Top-100 prospect for the draft in the summer and in the Top 25 among college players.
