Hogs' offense shutout on historic Razorback day by Aggies
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — No. 3 Arkansas lost to No. 5 Texas A&M 1-0 in 11 innings, ruining starter Hagen Smith's historic night in a game that featured a 90-minute weather delay and finished at 11:48 p.m. with the game ending on a walk-off walk by Ted Burton off Will McEntire."We just couldn’t get that big hit," Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said. "We needed a big hit and we didn’t get it. Really, they didn’t get a big hit either. We walked them in. So it was disappointing.
Smith's quest to break the Razorbacks' all-time strikeout record couldn't have gotten off to a better start as he struck out five of the first six hitters he faced, but Texas A&M's Ryan Prager matched Smith step for step with seven shutout innings of his own as neither team had many chances to score runs.
However the bats could do nothing against Ryan Prager and Evan Aschenbeck, who combined for 11 innings of shutout baseball. Arkansas went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position. A two-out double in the sixth by Jace LaViolette was just the Aggies' second runner in scoring position and the first extra-base hit by either team. Smith struck out Braden Montgomery for the third time to end his night and turn the ball over to the Razorbacks' bullpen.
