Pregame Notes
Arkansas is starting several reserves in tonight's game, including freshmen Dylan Leach and Zac White. The full lineups for both teams are listed below.
B-1st: Arkansas 1, Memphis 0
Arkansas strikes first, as Cayden Wallace delivered an RBI single with two outs.
B-2nd: Arkansas 4, Memphis 0
The Razorbacks did more two-out damage in the second, with three straight free passes bringing home another run. Christian Franklin gets an RBI for drawing a bases-loaded walk. Charlie Welch followed with a bloop single that drove in two more.
T-5th: Arkansas 4, Memphis 1
Memphis gets on the board with a two-out RBI single by Braden Webb. The run is charged to starter Caleb Bolden, but the hit was off reliever Ryan Costeiu.
B-7th: Arkansas 5, Memphis 1
With two outs and the bases loaded, Jacob Nesbit beat out an infield single to drive in another run for Arkansas. He was initially called out on the field, but it was overturned by a replay review.
B-8th: Arkansas 14, Memphis 1
Braydon Webb hit the first pitch of the eighth inning over the seats behind the left field bullpen for a leadoff home run. Later in the inning, Cayden Wallace crushed a two-run homer well into the Hog Pen.
Jacob Nesbit blew the game open even more with a grand slam. A bloop double by Christian Franklin was enough to drive in the eighth run of the inning. Zack Gregory - who pinch ran earlier in the inning - ripped an RBI double in the next at bat.
