Top 4
Hollan works his first perfect inning of the afternoon, doing so with just nine pitches.
Bottom 4
Slavens and Bohrofen collect consecutive singles, the second and third Arkansas knocks of the day, but Diggs grounds into an inning-ending double play.
Top 5
Hollan allows a pair of hits, but all he needs is 10 pitches to strand both runners.

Bottom 6
Bohrofen goes deep the other way with two outs to give the Hogs their first lead of the afternoon.

Bottom 7
Rowland doubles the lead with a 405-foot leadoff homer to the opposite field against right-hander Warren Hartzell. Bolton's walk forces another pitching change, but lefty Alex Theis surrenders a pair of singles, including one that scores the fourth run off the bat of Wegner. Bohrofen makes him pay for both with a two-run single up the middle. The third pitcher of the inning, righty Chris Gallagher, strands three Razorbacks.
Top 8
Riemer and Greenwell line the first pitches they see to the outfield grass, and Luikart's sac fly makes it 6-2. A Cali fielding error loads the bases with one out, but he makes up for it with a 5-3 double play.

Josenberger and Stovall collect consecutive singles, but Wright State gets a strike-'em-out-throw-'em-out double play to end the inning.
