The Diamond Hogs must take on the UNLV Running Rebels before the SEC season starts this weekend.
Baum-Walker Stadium plays host for the mid-week two-game series. UNLV travels to Fayetteville with a 5-7 record, but as we’ve seen in college baseball this year, the early season records don’t matter.
The last time these two faced off was two-game series in 2014. Arkansas split the series, also capturing their first win against the program. Prior to that was three-game weekend series in 1994 with the Hogs getting swept.
After going 4-0 a week ago, the Diamond Hogs received some attention, establishing a top-ten spot in all the rankings. Will McEntire was also named SEC Pitcher of the Week.
Let’s see if they can start the week off right.
