Pregame Stuff

After not naming a starter following Game 1, Arkansas has now announced redshirt sophomore right-hander Will McEntire will get the nod in Game 2.

There are no changes in the Razorbacks' lineup, but North Carolina is without starting third baseman Mac Horvath. He is hitting .268 with 18 home runs and 53 RBIs. That caused a slight shuffle to the Tar Heels' lineup.

Full lineups are listed below.

B-2nd: Arkansas 0, North Carolina 0

The Razorbacks loaded the bases with two outs in the second, but Zack Gregory looked at strike three to end the threat.

**Weather delay begins at 12:44 p.m. CT**

**Game is set to resume at 2:30 p.m. CT**

B-4th: Arkansas 1, North Carolina 0

The Razorbacks strike first. With a full count and two outs, Jalen Battles ripped a double into the left field corner that scored Chris Lanzilli all the way from first.

B-5th: Arkansas 2, North Carolina 0

Braydon Webb doubles the lead with a one-out solo home run to right-center.

T-7th: Arkansas 2, North Carolina 2

With runners on second and third and one out, pinch hitter Eric Grintz grounded out, but drove in a run and moved the tying run to third.

That proved to be big because a wild pitch by Brady Tygart brought him in.

**Weather delay begins at 4:22 p.m. CT**

**Game is set to resume at 5:30 p.m. CT**

T-9th: North Carolina 3, Arkansas 2

Tomas Frick led off the inning with a double down the left field line to put the go-ahead run in scoring position. After a strikeout by Johnny Castagnozzi, Joe Jaconski flied out to center to move him to third.

That set up Patrick Alvarez's go-ahead RBI single with two outs.

B-9th: Arkansas 4, North Carolina 3

Battles and Stovall started the inning with singles and then Kendall Diggs drew a pinch-hit walk to load the bases with two outs.

Braydon Webb followed with a fielder's choice RBI to tie the game and put runners on the corners.

Brady Slavens followed with a walk-off RBI single.
