The No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks play Kentucky on Friday for the Southeastern Conference opener, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Kentucky enters the series at 14-4 overall, most recently falling to Indiana on the road, 20-7. Kentucky and Indiana were tied at 4-4 at the end of the first inning, but the Hoosier offense was too much to handle going forward, as they scored at least one run in every following inning. The Wildcats used seven arms in the game, with the starter, Seth Logue, being the only one to stay on the mound for at least 2.0 innings.
But don’t let the skid at Indiana fool you, these Wildcats are still a good baseball team. Prior to the game with the Hoosiers, Kentucky had won six of their last eight, with two of those being a series win at home against No. 21 TCU.
Chase Estep is the bat to watch for Kentucky. He is currently hitting at a .471 clip with seven home runs and 21 RBI. He is currently on a 16-game hitting streak, and has reached base in 17 of Kentucky’s 18 games.
The conference-opening weekend could not come at a better time for the Razorbacks, as they are beginning to produce hits and score runs. Three Razorbacks have extensive hitting streaks, led by Chris Lanzilli’s ten-game streak. Not far behind Lanzilli is Peyton Stovall, who has recorded a hit in nine consecutive games.
In game one of the series with the Wildcats, Connor Noland will get the start for Arkansas. Noland is coming off his longest outing of the season where he tossed 6.2 innings of four-hit baseball in March 10’s victory over UIC, where he matched his career-high in strikeouts with 11.
