Pregame Notes
Full lineups for both teams are listed below. There were no surprises from head coach Dave Van Horn, who is sticking with his usual order.
T-2nd: Florida 1, Arkansas 0
After retiring the first four batters he faced, Patrick Wicklander gave up a solo home run to Kendrick Calilao. It easily cleared the left field bullpen to give the Gators a 1-0 lead.
B-4th: Arkansas 1, Florida 1
After Christian Franklin was hit by a pitch to start the inning, he moved to second on a passed ball and scored on Casey Opitz's two-out RBI single to tie the game.
B-5th: Arkansas 3, Florida 1
Cayden Wallace swings at the first pitch he sees in the fifth inning and hits an opposite-field home run that just stayed fair down the right field line. That gives the Razorbacks a 2-1 lead.
Later in the inning, with the bases loaded and two outs, Opitz ripped his third hit of the game into left field for an RBI.
B-8th: Arkansas 6, Florida 1
The Razorbacks get some much-needed insurance in the form of a three-out home run by Cayden Wallace. It's his second long ball of the game.
FINAL - Arkansas 6, Florida 1
