The No. 7 Arkansas Razorbacks (33-11, 14-7 SEC) successfully secured a series sweep over the Texas A&M Aggies (25-19, 9-12 SEC) with an 8-7 victory on Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Right-hander Cody Adcock started the game and gave the Razorbacks four scoreless innings. After Adcock, it was a bullpen experience and freshman lefty Parker Coil did just enough across the final 1 2/3 innings to get the job done and record his first career save.

Arkansas plated all eight runs across the third-fifth innings. The Hogs were 5-for-15 with runners on base on Saturday. Shortstop John Bolton was 3-for-3 at the plate with a pair of RBIs.

Cody Adcock issued a leadoff walk, but responded by retiring the next three batters in order, two of which went down on strikes.

Will Johnston struck out the side in the bottom of the first inning.

After issuing a one-out walk, Adcock gained two more strikeouts to strand the runner.

Johnston hit Jace Bohrofen and then walked Ben McLaughlin to start things off. A sacrifice bunt from Hunter Grimes pushed the runners up.

Back-to-back strikeouts from Brady Slavens and Parker Rowland allowed Johnston to strand the runners.

Adcock worked his first 1-2-3 frame of the day to keep things scoreless.

Bolton led the frame off with a bunt single to first — the first hit of the day by any team. He advanced to second on a throwing error by Johnston and he got to third via a wild pitch. Kendall Diggs brought Bolton home on an RBI sac fly to left that gave the Hogs a 1-0 lead.

Caleb Cali singled through the left side with two outs to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. After stealing second, Cali scored via an RBI single from Jace Bohrofen.

A fly out to left from Hunter Grimes stranded Bohrofen and Ben McLaughlin.

Adcock hit Austin Bost with a one-out pitch and then gave up a single to Brett Minnich to put two on. After loading the bases with a walk, Adcock benefitted from a 6-4-3 double play to get out of trouble.

Brady Slavens and Parker Rowland walked to start things off and both were moved up via a Bolton sac bunt. Diggs drove Slavens in with his second RBI sac fly of the day to give Arkansas a 3-0 lead after four innings.

LHP Zack Morris came on in relief to start the inning.

Morris worked around a one-out single and added a pair of strikeouts in the frame to face just one more than the minimum.

RHP Chris Cortez relieved LHP Matt Dillard after one inning, and things went south for the Aggies in a hurry. McLaughlin drove in a run on a single to second to make it 4-0. The Razorbacks scored a fifth run on a fielding error that came after Grimes' sacrifice bunt attempt. Bolton plated two with a single, and Grimes scored the eighth run on a wild throw from right field.

Morris allowed a one-out walk and a two-out single and he then loaded the bases by hitting Jordan Thompson, which prompted a change to RHP Christian Foutch.

Foutch gave up a two-run single to left from the pinch hitting Ryan Targac. A walk from Foutch loaded the bases once again for the Aggies. Foutch hit Hunter Haas with a pitch to score A&M's third run. Van Horn then turned to RHP Ben Bybee, who left the bases loaded on a three-pitch strikeout.

Cortez struck out the side following a leadoff single from Cali.

Minnich hit a one-out double down the left field line and Austin Bost was walked right after. An RBI sac fly from Jace LaViolette made it an 8-4 game.

Jordan Thompson lined an RBI double to right-center to cut the Arkansas lead to three runs. A strikeout to Kaufer got Bybee out of the inning.

A two-out single from John Bolton prompted an A&M pitching change to Brandyn Garcia, and Bolton was then thrown out trying to steal second.

Haas reached on an error by Peyton Stovall and was advanced to third on a single from Jack Moss. Brett Minnich reached on an RBI fielder's choice that scored Haas. Van Horn then turned from Bybee to LHP Parker Coil.

A 6-4-3 double play got Coil out of the frame and kept it at an 8-6 Arkansas lead.

Arkansas went down in order and saw just five pitches from Garcia.

LaViolette led the top of the ninth off with a solo shot over the wall in right to trim Arkansas' lead to one run. Coil managed to bounce back with three straight outs to secure his first career save.
