The Arkansas baseball team may have seen its 15-game winning streak come to an end over the weekend against LSU, but the Diamond Hogs have a different streak still at play.
The Razorbacks will carry an 11-game nonconference winning streak into Tuesday’s game against Nebraska-Omaha at Baum-Walker Stadium. The last time Arkansas lost to a team outside the SEC was February 26 against Eastern Illinois.
That winning of late lifted the Diamond Hogs has to No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll last week ahead of a weekend set against LSU. Arkansas came out on the losing end, two games to one, but dropped only three spots in the rankings.
UNO is the opportunity for bounceback from that. The Mavericks actually lead the all-time series, 2-1, though its hardly an accurate reflection of where the program’s are. Arkansas won last year’s game between the two, 15-3. Before that, the only meeting was in 1965.
First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. in what’s expected to be a chilly evening in Fayetteville. If you can’t make it, check out how to catch it otherwise below.
