Arkansas fans were discouraged while watching the Razorbacks fall to Florida, 7-5 on Friday, a loss that would end their stay at the SEC Tournament.
During the 6th inning of Friday’s game, fans’ disappointment turned to worry as one of the most reliable arms in the Arkansas bullpen left the game after facing just four batters.
[autotag]Brady Tygart[/autotag], a freshman from Hernando, Miss. who has been used primarily as the Arkansas closer, left the game in the 6th inning in what seemed to be earlier than anticipated.
During the SEC Network broadcast of the Arkansas-Florida game, cameras showed Tygart exhibiting signs of discomfort during a mound visit with pitching coach [autotag]Matt Hobbs[/autotag]. After chatting with Hobbs briefly, Tygart exited the game and [autotag]Zebulon Vermillion[/autotag] entered from the bullpen.
While most feared that Tygart had suffered an injury, fans can now breathe a sigh of relief now that a reliable source, Tygart’s mother Belinda, has shared that Tygart was just feeling lightheaded.
Thank y’all for prayers! There’s no injury. Trainer said He was feeling faint so he had to come out of the game.

Head coach [autotag]Dave Van Horn[/autotag] confirmed after the game that Tygart felt nauseated during the game, and that there was no injury.
In his first year at Arkansas, Tygart has recorded eight saves while striking out 47 batters in 34.0 innings of work.
Next up for Arkansas is the regional round of the NCAA Tournament. The announcement of Arkansas’ post season destination will be revealed Monday morning.
