Razorbacks must now win three straight, including pair over Kansas State Wildcats.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- An uncharacteristic six-run fifth inning given up by Arkansas ace Hagen Smith generated a sinking feeling the Razorbacks' season may be done as the Hogs fell behind, 6-2.
The first proved true as the Hogs ultimately fell, 7-6 despite a late home run by Peyton Holt to keep things interesting.The latter was boosted by a surprisingly strong outing by Ben Bybee in relief, but still remains an albatross potentially dragging Arkansas to an early exit on its home field. Back in February and early March, it looked like Arkansas was built to cruise to the College World Series. Smith, Brady Tygart and Mason Molina were unhittable, and their relievers were dominant also.
Before Arkansas can even think about trying to exact revenge on Kansas State, Van Horn will have to figure out how to negotiate a hot hitting Southeast Missouri State team. The Redhawks have scored nine runs in each of their last two games, which will put a lot of pressure on the Hogs' makeshift rotation Sunday afternoon.
