Pregame Notes
The only change in Arkansas' lineup is Zack Gregory starting in left field and hitting ninth instead of Braydon Webb. Louisiana Tech's only change is starting a new catcher - Kyle Hasler.
Full lineups are posted below.
T-1st: Arkansas 2, Louisiana Tech 0
With two outs, Arkansas strikes first on a double to the left field corner by Brady Slavens. That drives in a pair of runs.
T-4th: Arkansas 4, Louisiana Tech 0
Cayden Wallace leads off the fourth inning with a solo home run that had just enough to clear the left field fence.
Later in the inning, with the bases loaded, Gregory hit a fly ball to center that was deep enough for a sacrifice fly that drove in another run.
B-4th: Arkansas 4, Louisiana Tech 1
Jalen Battles made a great diving stop on a grounder by Steele Nettleville and then threw a strike to second for a force, but the Razorbacks couldn't quite turn the double play. That allowed the runner on third to score.
T-5th: Arkansas 5, Louisiana Tech 1
Slavens' second double of the day gets over the right fielder's head and drives in Christian Franklin from third.
T-8th: Arkansas 8, Louisiana Tech 1
Arkansas tacks on two more runs thanks to wild pitches with the bases loaded. Wallace drove in another on a single - his third hit and second RBI of the game - but Franklin was gunned down trying to score from second.
