Pregame Stuff
Chris Lanzilli and Braydon Webb are back in the starting lineup, replacing Michael Turner and Zack Gregory. True freshman Kendall Diggs is also making a spot start, getting the nod at first base to give Peyton Stovall a day off.
Full lineups -- and an updated stat comparison -- are listed below.
B-2nd: Arkansas 3, Arkansas State 0
After Kendall Diggs' sacrifice fly started the scoring, Dylan Leach followed with a two-run home run to left.
B-3rd: Arkansas 6, Arkansas State 0
Bohrofen drives in a pair of runs with a double -- the fourth by Arkansas hitters so far. A couple of batters later, Diggs notched his second RBI, this time on a single.
T-5th: Arkansas 6, Arkansas State 1
A two-out RBI single by Jared Toler breaks up the shutout and chases starter Will McEntire.
B-5th: Arkansas 10, Arkansas State 1
Arkansas got the run back quickly, as Bohrofen's blooper fell for a double and then Braydon Webb drove him in with a single up the middle.
Leach drove in another run with a line drive off the shortstop's glove that was ruled a single and then Brady Slavens hit what looked like a double play ball, but the Red Wolves botched it. A run would have scored regardless, but the failure to turn it gave Slavens an RBI fielder's choice.
With the bases loaded and only one out, Robert Moore tacked on an RBI via a fielder's choice, as well.
T-7th: Arkansas 10, Arkansas State 3
Gabe Starks issued a bases-loaded walk to give the Red Wolves their second run and snap the bullpen's streak of innings without allowing an earned run at 23 2/3.
Issac Bracken came in and promptly walked in another run, but stranded the bases loaded with back-to-back strikeouts.
