From now on, when you open a dictionary to the word “obliteration,” next to it will be the 2024 Arkansas/Mizzou series box score.
From beginning to end, the series was dominated by Arkansas, holding Mizzou to 24 consecutive scoreless innings. In game three, the Hogs held them scoreless and hitless until the 6th inning.
Thomas Curry’s leadoff shot to right field was the first and only Tigers run against the Razorbacks.
Mason Molina pitched an outstanding game again, striking out 10 batters in 5 1/3 innings and allowing a hit, a hit-by-pitch, and 3 walks.
After starting the season off terribly, Wehiwa Aloy is beginning to demonstrate what all the preseason hype was about. Today, he went 2/3 from the plate and drove in 3 runs.
As far as the rest of the hitters are concerned, they were tremendous. They scored a run in 5 of 8 possible innings. Only one run was from a home run, which is a more sustainable strategy than betting on the long ball every game.
Arkansas now looks forward to its next SEC series at Auburn. After a promising beginning to the season, the Tigers were just swept by Vanderbilt and now have to face the No. 1 team in the nation.
The Razorbacks will not play a midweek game but will start the series early on Thursday at 6:00 PM.
