Top 2nd - Arkansas 3, USC 0

Casey Martin cleared the bases with a two-out, full-count double off the wall to give Arkansas a 3-0 lead. All three runners for the Razorbacks reached via walks.

Top 3rd - Arkansas 5, USC 0

The Razorbacks added to their lead with an RBI single by Matt Goodheart and a sacrifice fly by Casey Opitz. They benefitted from a leadoff error by the Trojans' shortstop.

Top 4th - Arkansas 6, USC 0

Trevor Ezell reached on another error by USC shortstop Chase Bushor, allowing Christian Franklin to score instead of ending the inning.

Bottom 4th - Arkansas 6, USC 3

The Trojans finally chased starter Cody Scroggins with two outs in the fourth inning, as the redshirt junior loaded the bases with a pair of hit by pitches and a walk. The Razorbacks called upon freshman Patrick Wicklander, who failed to record an out. He hit Brady Shockey with a pitch and then walked John Thomas and Matthew Acosta to score all three of his inherited runners.

Kole Ramage came in and finally stopped the bleeding with a strikeout. All three of USC's runs scored without a hit.

Top 6th - Arkansas 6, USC 3

Despite loading the bases with just one out, Arkansas couldn't extend its lead in the sixth. Fletcher popped out and then Goodheart struck out to end the threat.

Bottom 6th - Arkansas 6, USC 3

The Razorbacks flashed some leather in the home half of the inning. After a leadoff single by Emilio Rosas, Franklin made a sensational catch in left field to rob Shockey of a hit. Not only that, but Arkansas doubled up Rosas because he failed to touch the second base bag on his way back to first. Ezell made a nice stop and flip to Ramage covering first for the third out.

Bottom 8th - Arkansas 6, USC 3

Zebulon Vermillion got a pair of outs sandwiched around a double by CJ Stubbs before Arkansas brought in closer Matt Cronin for a four-out save opportunity.

FINAL - Arkansas 6, USC 3

Cronin picked up his 16th career save - moving into second place alone in the UA record book - by striking out all four batters he faced.
