Arkansas took the first and second games while only allowing the Racers to score one run in each. Saturday’s Diamond Hogs win clinched the series and ended in eight innings after a run-rule, 11-1.
Mason Molina is expected to get the call on the hill for Arkansas. The Texas Tech transfer has been dynamite in his two starts with the Razorbacks. He’s pitched 8 1/3 innings and struck out 19 batters. Opponents are hitting just .103 against him.
Coach Dave Van Horn is hoping his bats keep up the good work, too. After struggling in Arlington, Texas, last weekend – the Diamond Hogs still won two of three – Saturday’s game saw the Razorbacks with 20 baserunners.
Outfielder Kendall Diggs appears to be warming, too, which will help. Diggs hit his first home run in the series against Murray State and he’s now second on the team in both slugging and batting average.
If you can’t make it out to Baum-Walker, here’s how to catch the game.
