Mason Molina money as Diamond Hogs sweep Murray

Mason Molina struck out 10 batters in Arkansas’ series-sweeping win.

Mason Molina is getting after it.

The Texas Tech transfer struck out 10 batters in five innings for No. 5 Arkansas on Sunday, leading the Diamond Hogs to a sweep of Murray State in a 5-3 win.

Molina gave up just one run on two hits and a walk as his lineup picked him up in third and fourth innings, plating two runs in each.

Nolan Souza started the third with a solo shot before Kendall Diggs gave Arkansas the lead on a sacrifice fly. In the fourth, Souza plated two more on a two-run single to give the Razorbacks all the runs they’d need.

Souza was the only Arkansas batter to pick up more than one hit, but every starter had a knock. Once the lead was secure, Will McEntire came on to finish the final 3 2/3 innings, giving up just one more Murray State run in the process.

Arkansas is back in action Tuesday at Baum-Walker Stadium when Central Arkansas visits from Conway for a one-off game at 3 p.m.
