Death. Taxes. Inclement weather shaking up weekend baseball games.
That seems to be the trend for the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks, as their weekend series with Southeastern has been changed.
Due to forecasted rain for Sunday, game three of the series with the Lions will now be played on Saturday as part of a double-header, Arkansas baseball announced Friday.
Friday’s series-opener will go on as scheduled, with Connor Noland taking the bump for the Razorbacks for the 3 p.m. start. The first game of Saturday’s twin bill will now take place at noon, with game two scheduled to begin 45 minutes after the conclusion of game one. Hagen Smith is slated to start game one, while Jaxon Wiggins gets the call for game two.
The schedule shakeup is the second in as many weekends for the Razorbacks. Last weekend, frigid temperatures and rain caused the playing surface at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas to be unplayable, forcing Arkansas to play a double-header with Stanford and Louisiana last Sunday.
