Lineup Changes

Dave Van Horn is once again trying someone else in the leadoff spot, moving the slumping Robert Moore into the role. He also doesn't have outfielders Zack Gregory and Chris Lanzilli the starting lineup, giving Jace Bohrofen a start and moving Brady Slavens into right field from his usual spot as the DH.

As usual, Dylan Leach is starting at catcher for the midweek game. Usual starter Michael Turner is at DH.

Full lineups are listed below.

B-5th: Arkansas 1, UCA 0

Braydon Webb reaches on a leadoff single and moves to second on a ground out by Peyton Stovall. That set up Dylan Leach's RBI single that starts the scoring.

T-6th: Arkansas 1, UCA 1

Kolby Johnson led off the sixth inning with a double and then scored after back-to-back ground outs by Connor Emmet and Hunter Hicks.

B-9th: Arkansas 1, UCA 1

Neither team managed to score in the ninth, so they're heading to extras.

B-10th: Arkansas 2, UCA 1

With runners on second and third and two outs, Brady Slavens drew a walk, but ball four got away from the catcher and Robert Moore scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch.

FINAL - Arkansas 2, UCA 1

Pregame Tidbits

~Tuesday's game will not be televised or streamed, as Dickey-Stephens Park lacks the infrastructure to broadcast games on SEC Network-Plus. The UA's equipment is all in Fayetteville and not able to be transported to central Arkansas, similar to the men's and women's basketball games at Simmons Bank Arena.

~This will be Arkansas' first game in North Little Rock since 2019, as the last two seasons were impacted by the pandemic. The Razorbacks played one game at Dickey-Stephens Park every year from 2010-19, going 9-1 in those games. The lone loss came in 2015 against Memphis, but it's worth noting that of the nine wins, four were by just one run and another three were by two or three runs.

~Arkansas has won 13 straight games against in-state opponents dating back to a 17-7 loss to Little Rock in 2019, which was its first such matchup after the UA loosened its restrictions against playing those games. The Razorbacks have also won 17 straight midweek games.

~In the two teams' first meeting back on April 5, Arkansas cruised to a 21-9 win over UCA in a game highlighted by catcher Dylan Leach hitting for the cycle while also homering from both sides of the plate.

~Redshirt sophomore Will McEntire will make a midweek start for the third straight week for Arkansas. Hailing from Bryant, he is the first Arkansas native to start the game in North Little Rock since Rogers' Kacey Murphy nearly threw a no-hitter against Memphis in 2017.
