Pregame Notes

Head coach Dave Van Horn is using Tuesday night's game to start some of his reserves, including Charlie Welch at designated hitter, Ethan Bates in right field, Dylan Leach at catcher and Zac White at left field.

B-1st: Arkansas 2, UAPB 0

Arkansas got a leadoff single from Robert Moore and Christian Franklin followed with a double to put runners on second and third. Brady Slavens followed with a pop up caught by the shortstop in shallow center, but Moore tagged up and scored because the shortstop's momentum was going the other way.

Ethan Bates hit a two-out RBI single later in the inning.

B-2nd: Arkansas 4, UAPB 0

Christian Franklin doubled the Razorbacks' lead with a two-out, two-run single into center.

T-5th: Arkansas 4, UAPB 1

Kacy Higgins drew a one-out walk, stole second and then scored on a soft liner by Justin Rieschick that fell for an RBI single.

B-7th: Arkansas 9, UAPB 1

Arkansas loaded the bases with no outs and Christian Franklin drew a walk to start the scoring. Brady Slavens followed with a fly out to center for a more traditional sacrifice fly.

Robert Moore tagged up to third on the play, allowed him to score on a balk by the UAPB pitcher. Then Charlie Welch singled through the left side for an RBI.

It looked like UAPB would get out of the inning, but Dylan Leach reached on a throwing error by the shortstop, allowing another run to score.

T-8th: Arkansas 9, UAPB 4

Gabriel Starks loaded the bases with three walks and then gave up a two-out line drive to Dante Leach. It got under a diving Ethan Bates in right field for a three-run triple.

B-8th: Arkansas 12, UAPB 4

After back-to-back walks to start the inning, Christian Franklin got those runs back with a three-run, opposite-field home run. It was his team-leading ninth long ball of the season.
