Diamond Hogs drop 16, drop Omaha to get back to winning ways

Tavian Josenberger and Kendall Diggs were both perfect at the plate for the Diamond Hogs.

Tuesday provided the sort of game the Arkansas baseball team needed.

The sixth-ranked Diamond Hogs weren’t feeling too down in the dumps or anything. They were after all, sixth in the country. But coming off a series loss to LSU on the weekend, one that saw Arkansas outplayed for most of it, the Razorbacks could have used a little pick-me-up.

Omaha provided one as Dave Van Horn’s bunch was back its winning ways with a 16-3 win over the Mavericks from Baum-Walker Stadium.

Arkansas scored runs in each of the first four innings, including a five in the second and seven in the third, to run-rule Omaha in just seven frames. Diamond Hogs hitters reached base 24 times via hit, walk or bean-ball and the pitchers didn’t allow a single Mavericks hit over the final five innings.

Tavian Josenberger had the best individual day for Arkansas, going 2 for 2 from the leadoff spot with two walks, a home run, three runs and three RBI. Kendall Diggs also went 3 for 3 with a walk, three runs and two RBI.

Omaha scored three runs off Arkansas starter Ben Bybee, who managed just two-plus innings. Gage Wood, Ben McLaughlin, Christian Foutch and Parker Coil finished things off.

Arkansas has a short break before Alabama visits Fayetteville for a three-game set starting on Friday.

Arkansas baseball vs. Nebraska-Omaha: How to watch, stream, listen

Arkansas has won 11 straight nonconference games.

The Arkansas baseball team may have seen its 15-game winning streak come to an end over the weekend against LSU, but the Diamond Hogs have a different streak still at play.

The Razorbacks will carry an 11-game nonconference winning streak into Tuesday’s game against Nebraska-Omaha at Baum-Walker Stadium. The last time Arkansas lost to a team outside the SEC was February 26 against Eastern Illinois.

That winning of late lifted the Diamond Hogs has to No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll last week ahead of a weekend set against LSU. Arkansas came out on the losing end, two games to one, but dropped only three spots in the rankings.

UNO is the opportunity for bounceback from that. The Mavericks actually lead the all-time series, 2-1, though its hardly an accurate reflection of where the program’s are. Arkansas won last year’s game between the two, 15-3. Before that, the only meeting was in 1965.

First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. in what’s expected to be a chilly evening in Fayetteville. If you can’t make it, check out how to catch it otherwise below.
