The Diamond Hogs are preparing for a weekend series against Missouri Valley representative Wright State.
Wright State enters Baum-Walker Stadium 3-4, fresh off a series lost against Kentucky. The Raiders are one of 19 teams the Hogs will face this season that went to the NCAA Tournament.
Dave Van Horn is still waiting for his team to provide a consistent series, especially the pitching staff. Arkansas has looked average against formidable opponents, with the staff allowing double-digit runs twice this season.
“We shouldn’t have to rely on four pitchers on a pitching staff that’s unbelievably deep,” Van Horn said a few days ago.
“Guys have just got to slow the game down and throw to the glove and trust that their stuff is good. With four pitchers, that might be what we have to do, but I think we’ll have some guys step up. So, we’ll see.”
