Pregame Stuff
This is the first midweek game of the season for Arkansas.
Right-hander Mark Adamiak, a redshirt sophomore, is making his first career start. It is just his fourth career appearance and second of 2022.
After being benched for the final game in Round Rock, freshman Peyton Stovall is back in the lineup and hitting leadoff.
B-1st: Arkansas 1, Omaha 0
After a 10-pitch strikeout by Peyton Stovall, Cayden Wallace drew a walk and scored on Robert Moore's opposite-field double into the left field corner.
T-2nd: Arkansas 1, Omaha 1
The Mavericks turned Noah Greise's leadoff single into a run thanks to a ground out that moved him to second and an RBI single by Grant Goldston.
T-4th: Omaha 2, Arkansas 1
Another leadoff base runner came around to score for Omaha in the fourth inning. Eduardo Rosario doubled to start the inning, moved to third on a single by Goldston and then scored on Devin Hurdle's RBI ground out.
B-4th: Arkansas 6, Omaha 2
The lead didn't last long, as Brady Slavens crushed a solo home run that landed on top of the Hunt Center beyond the right field wall. Jalen Battles and Michael Turner followed with back-to-back singles that chased starter Jackson Gordon.
The second of those singles came on a hit-and-run that would have put runners on the corners, but left fielder Jack Lombardi bobbled it, allowing Battles to score and Turner to take second. That gave Arkansas a 3-2 lead.
Reliever Cam Fowler proceeded to walk the first two guys he faced to load the bases. He got Wallace to pop out, but walked Moore to bring in another run for Arkansas. Chris Lanzilli followed with a two-run double for the Razorbacks' first hit with the bases loaded this season.
B-5th: Arkansas 13, Omaha 2
After a leadoff bloop single by Battles, Turner followed with a two-run homer off the Hunt Center in right. Zack Gregory singled in the next at bat and then Peyton Stovall followed with his first career home run, a two-run shot that makes it 10-2.
A new pitcher didn't help much, as Parker Weddle gave up three straight singles -- the last of which was an RBI for Lanzilli. A couple of wild pitches led to the Razorbacks' sixth run of the inning and made it 12-2.
With the bases loaded, Turner flied out to center, but it was plenty deep enough for a sacrifice. That capped the scoring and made it 13-2.
T-8th: Arkansas 13, Omaha 3
Sophomore Gabe Starks came in to pitch in the eighth and struggled with his command. After a couple of singles and a walk, he walked in a run to give Omaha its third run of the game. He limited the damage, though, by starting a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning.
B-8th: Arkansas 15, Omaha 3
Arkansas tacked on to its lead with an RBI fielder's choice by Wallace and an RBI double by Max Soliz Jr. It was Soliz's first career hit.
