FAYETTEVILLE — In a near mirror image of the series opener, Arkansas lost to second-ranked Florida, 6-1, on Sunday afternoon at Bogle Park.

Junior Autumn Russell collected the 100th hit of her career and scored the Razorbacks’ run to give the home team an early lead. With Sunday’s result, Arkansas is now 22-12 overall and 2-10 in SEC play.

The first three innings of the game featured a pitcher’s duel between Arkansas’ Autumn Storms and Florida’s Kelly Barnhill before the Razorbacks broke through in the home half of the fourth.

Leading off the frame, Russell recorded the 100th hit of her career with a double to right field. She moved over to third on a ground ball to short.

With two outs, A.J. Belans chopped a ball back to the pitcher but an errant throw to first allowed Russell to score.

Storms retired the first six hitters of the game but faced a two-on, one-out jam in the top of the third. However, senior catcher Shelby Hiers threw out her ninth base runner of the season for the second out.

Storms got out of the inning with a grounder to second.

Florida (33-2, 10-1 SEC) then put together a five-run response in the top of the fifth inning to go ahead on the scoreboard. All five of the runs were scored with two outs including a two-run shot by Kayli Kvistad.

The visitors added another run in the sixth to produce the 6-1 final score.

Arkansas put a runner on base in each of the last two innings — a double by Nicole Schroeder in the sixth and a walk to Belans in the seventh — but weren’t able to cut into Florida’s advantage.

Allison Stewart, the Razorbacks’ third pitcher of the game, kept the visitors off the scoreboard over the final 1.1 innings with the help of two strikeouts.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas finished tied for third place at the NCAA Regional on Saturday evening with a team season-high score of 196.600.

The top-two teams from the six-team regional — Utah (197.150) and Denver (197.050) — will move on to the NCAA Championship in St. Louis on April 14-16.

Freshman Jessica Yamzon and junior Braie Speed advanced to the NCAA Championship as individual all-arounders and vault specialist, respectively.

Yamzon was the second-highest all-arounder who was not on an advancing team. Among all competitors, she finished sixth with a score of 39.175.

Speed tied for first-place in the vault with four other competitors — Denelle Pedrick from Central Michigan, Rachel Fielitz from Denver and MyKayla Skinner from Utah.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this team,” coach Mark Cook said. “This team fought through a lot of adversity this season, and with all of the young talent we have, their outstanding performance tonight earned them a lot of invaluable experience.”

To kick off the event on balance beam, freshman Michaela Burton earned a 9.875 equaling her personal-best mark set against Auburn on Feb. 3. The score is also tied for the fourth-best mark on beam this season.

Four Razorbacks — Yamzon (9.825), Nelson (9.800), McGlone (9.800) and Burton (9.875) — earned marks of 9.8 and above on balance beam to kick off NCAA Regional action.

Arkansas’ score of 49.075 on balance beam is the fourth-highest team score in the event, topping the previous mark of 49.050 set against Centenary and SJSU on March 10.

On floor exercise, the Gymbacks were anchored by senior Samantha Nelson and sophomore Sydney McGlone, who each earned a score of 9.900. Nelson tied her season-high mark earned against Florida on Feb. 17 and McGlone tied her season-high and career-best marks earned against SJSU and Centenary on March 10 along with Alabama on Jan. 22, 2016.

The team’s 49.225 on floor is tied for the second-best team performance in the event, equaling the mark set against LSU on Feb. 10.

Moving on to vault, Arkansas was led by junior Braie Speed whose 9.900 was the San Antonio, Texas, native’s new career-best score, as well as tying individual season-high marks set by teammates McGlone and Amanda Wellick on Jan. 13 and Jan. 7, respectively.

Freshman Kirby Rathjen also shined in the event, earning a new career-best 9.800, topping her previous marks of 9.775 earned against LSU and Florida on Feb. 3 and Feb. 10. Senior Heather Elswick’s 9.825 equaled her season-best performance earned against SJSU and Centenary on March 10.

The Razorbacks rounded off the event with a 49.175, a new team season-high mark, surpassing the previous record of 49.000 gained against LSU on Feb. 10.

Arkansas rounded off the last event with a 49.125 on uneven bars, led by Garner and Burton, who each earned a 9.900. Garner has scored the three highest individual scores in uneven bars this season for the Gymbacks, and her 9.900 in the NCAA Regionals tied a similar score earned on Feb. 10 against No. 2 LSU.

Arkansas’ final team score of 196.600 is a new season-high mark, besting the previous high of 196.375 set against No. 17 Auburn on Feb. 3.

GYMQUOTES

“To make Nationals is super awesome,” Speed said. “Of course, I wish it was the team that made it instead of me individually, but I’m glad to be able to wear a Hog on my chest to represent the school somehow in St. Louis.” – Junior Braie Speed

“This season has been great, it’s all been a great experience and I’m glad I have the opportunity to compete at Nationals. I’m so excited to represent the best school.” – Freshman Jessica Yamzon

Tide evens series with Hogs on strong pitching performance

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Arkansas’ offense struggled to figure out Alabama starting pitcher Dylan Duarte Saturday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium and never could get it done.

With only one run on six hits, the Hogs suffered their second conference loss of the season, 7-1, to the Crimson Tide, setting up the series-deciding third game on Sunday.

The Razorbacks fall to 21-6 on the year and 6-2 in conference play with the loss, but still remain tied at the top of the SEC Western Division with Auburn. Alabama improves to 13-14 overall and 2-6 in conference play.

Sophomore catcher Grant Koch was the only Razorback to record more than one hit Saturday night as he went 2-for-4 with a run scored. He was brought home in the second inning on a Jaxon Williams single for the Hogs only run of the game.

Duarte handcuffed Arkansas hitters all night, going 8.1 innings and scattering six hits with one earned run on 116 pitches, earning his second win of the year.

For Koch, he now has 10 multi-hit games on the year joining teammate Luke Bonfield as the only Razorbacks with 10 or more multi-hit games this year.

Along with Koch, Jake Arledge, Dominic Fletcher, Jordan McFarland, and Williams tallied hits, but Arkansas was not able to get a runner to third after scoring its single run in the second inning.

Starting pitcher Trevor Stephan did not make it out of the second inning as he gave up four earned runs on four hits in 1.1 innings and was saddled with his second straight loss. It was his shortest start of the season and second in a row that he’s given up four earned runs.

With Stephan getting pulled early, the Hogs were forced to get a lot of innings out of their relievers starting with redshirt freshman Kevin Kopps. Kopps tried to keep the hot hitting Tide at bay, but he struggled the second time through Alabama’s lineup, giving up three runs on three hits in the fifth.

Kopps was strong through the third and fourth innings, striking out four and only allowing one baserunner. It’s his second straight outing with four strikeouts and third overall with four or more.

Sophomore Jake Reindl took over for Kopps on the mound in the fifth inning with one out and was lights out. Reindl didn’t allow a single Alabama batter to reach base in 2.2 innings, as he struck out a career-high five batters. He’s become one of head coach Dave Van Horn’s best options out of the bullpen as of late, as Saturday’s appearance was fifth scoreless outing of the season and second straight of 2+ innings with no runs allowed.

Up Next
The Razorbacks and Crimson Tide will face off in a rubber match on Sunday at Sewell-Thomas Stadium to conclude the series. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. and will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas fell behind early and never could catch up with Florida in an 8-0 loss to Florida on Saturday afternoon.

The Razorbacks were held to two hits by Florida starter Delaney Gourley, singles by Shelby Hiers and Ashley Diaz.

With Saturday’s result, Arkansas is now 22-11 overall and 2-9 in Southeastern Conference play.

Saturday’s game was played in front of 1,021 fans, the 10th-largest crowd at Bogle Park.

With her team facing the wrong side of a run-rule decision, Ashley Diaz stroked a one-out single to left field in the fifth inning to get a would-be rally started.

The Razorbacks got the benefit of a fielding error at third base to have runners on first and second with two outs.

However, in the next at-bat Madison Yannetti lined out to the shortstop to end the game.

Diaz has hit safely in four straight and five of the last six.

Florida (32-2, 9-1 SEC) struck early with three runs — two earned — off freshman starter Autumn Storms in the first inning.

The visitors pushed their lead to 4-0 off with an RBI fielder’s choice in the third, the final inning of the day for Storms. Katie Warrick pitched the final two innings of the game.

After a 10-pitch fourth by Warrick, the Gators put the game out of reach with a four-run fifth, capped by a three-run shot to center by Jordan Roberts.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas struck first but a six-run response by Florida was the difference in a 6-1 setback Friday evening at Bogle Park.

Autumn Russell tallied an RBI in the third inning and had one of the team’s four hits. With the loss, Arkansas drops to 22-10 overall and 2-8 in SEC play.

In a scoreless game, Ashley Diaz led off the bottom of third inning with a base hit to left field.

The Razorbacks had runners on first and second after Shelby Hiers drew a two-out walk. Russell delivered with an RBI single to right field, scoring pinch runner Betina Beringhele from second base.

It was the 99th career hit for Russell. The score was just the third earned run allowed this season by Florida starter Kelly Barnhill, and the first in SEC play.

However, Florida (31-2, 8-1 SEC) responded immediately with the big fourth inning highlighted by a two-run shot off the bat of Amanda Lorenz.

A one-out, two-run double by Jordan Roberts put the Gators on the board and chased freshman Caroline Hedgcock who was making the first start of her Razorback career.

Five of Florida’s 10 hits in the game came in that fourth inning.

Hedgcock finished with a line of three runs allowed on four hits with five strikeouts and two walks in 3.1 innings.

Grace Moll, who relieved Hedgcock, pitched the final 3.2 innings of the game. After giving up three hits and three runs in the fourth, she kept the Gators off the scoreboard over the final three frames.

Hedgcock and Moll combined for 10 strikeouts against the Gators.

Hiers reached safely in two of three plate appearances. She and Tori Cooper accounted for Arkansas’ other two hits.

With her third-inning single, Diaz has now registered a hit in four of the last five games after going hitless in the previous five.

Game two of the weekend series is scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. and will be streamed live on SEC Network+ which is also available through the WatchESPN app.

Knight’s one-run effort stymies Alabama in Razorbacks’ win

Box Score (PDF)

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Sophomore right-hander Blaine Knight gave up a single run to Alabama in the first inning Friday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

And for the following seven innings, he not only kept the Tide off the scoreboard, but he retired 22 of the final 23 batters he faced, helping Arkansas to a 7-1 series-opening victory and his third win in a row.

Knight has been stellar since the start of Southeastern Conference play and Friday night was no different.

Going a career-long eight innings against Alabama, Knight allowed just one run on three hits with seven strikeouts and no walks.

It’s the fifth outing this season that he hasn’t allowed a walk and third outing of six or more innings without a walk.

Over his three starts in SEC play, Knight has earned the victory in each game, allowing a combined three earned runs and striking out a combined 24 batters with only two walks.

Offensively, the Razorbacks scattered a season-high 17 hits against Alabama pitching with each starter recording at least one hit in the game.

Jake Arledge, Luke Bonfield, and Jared Gates each turned in three-hit performances. Gates, who was hitless coming into the game and had missed a majority of the season due to a hand injury, was firing on all cylinders Friday, going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, all singles, with a run scored.

Bonfield was 3-for-5 on the night with three RBIs and a home run. The New Jersey native launched his fifth home run of the year in the third inning, a two-run shot that not only got the Razorbacks on the board, but gave them a lead they never relinquished.

Moments That Mattered

Knight had to battle through some early adversity when the first batter he faced in the game, Cobie Vance, hit a high chopper down the third base line for a double.

Vance later scored on a Hunter Alexander single to make it 1-0 Alabama after the first inning.

That was it for the Crimson Tide offense the rest of the way. Knight set down 19 straight batters into the eighth inning before the next player reached.

Tanner DeVinny broke that streak with a double to deep centerfield, but that was the only thing Alabama could muster the rest of the way.

Knight becomes the second Razorback pitcher this season to retire 19 consecutive batters in an outing, two less than the school record. Saturday starter Trevor Stephan retired 19 in a row to start a game against Rhode Island back on March 10.

Even with the early deficit, the Hog hitters responded with five runs on 10 hits off Alabama starter Jake Walters. Starting with Bonfield’s two-run blast in the third, Arkansas tallied two more in the fourth and one in the fifth before Walters was pulled.

Walters’ control went awry in the fourth when Gates was hit by the first pitch of the inning. Jax Biggers followed with a four-pitch walk to turn over the lineup. Arledge followed with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt to move both runners before a passed ball and an RBI single from Bonfield upped the score to 4-1 in favor of the Razorbacks.

For Bonfield, the left fielder has had one of the hot bats for Arkansas lately as he is now hitting .429 in conference play to lead all Hog hitters with 12 hits and two home runs.

In Friday night’s game Arkansas’ 1-6 hitters went 11-for-29 (.379) with six RBIs and a home run. The 7-8-9 hitters of Eric Cole, Jack Kenley, Gates and Biggers were no slouch either, going 6-for-12 (.500), half of those hits coming off the bat of Gates.

Razorback Quotables

“He’s been really good the last few weeks. Ever since conference play started, he’s proven that he can give us seven or eight quality innings. Early in his career, it was more like five innings before we had to be on alert. He’s turned it around at the start of SEC play this year and it’s been three of the same type outings. He gave up a run early, but they (Alabama) have a good hitting team. He didn’t panic, he just came out, gave us a quick second inning and gave us a chance.” — Coach Dave Van Horn on Blaine Knight’s outing

“I feel like he really started working his breaking ball. He had them out there looking for it and then he started pumping in the fastball. He just mixed it up really well. He threw everything for a strike and that’s kind of what he does. It’s pretty easy to play defense behind a guy like that.” — Van Horn on Knight’s ability to keep hitters off-balance

“We went in with a game plan that we were going to stick with fastballs early in the count. We figured they were going to jump on them, we just didn’t know how they were going to take an approach. We switched over to going breaking ball early in the count after that first inning and it worked out.” — Knight on what worked for him in the game

Up Next

The Razorbacks and Crimson Tide will continue their series on Saturday with game two of the three-game set starting at 7 p.m. at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

The game will be broadcast on the SEC Network and also on the radio on the Razorback Sports Network.

Hogs bomb way to second SEC series win, downing Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The offense came out swinging Sunday for Arkansas, scoring nine runs on 12 hits with three home runs to defeat Missouri, 9-8, and win its second conference series in a row.

The Hogs had a 9-3 lead going into the eighth inning, but Missouri came back to score four runs in the eighth and one run in the ninth to cut the lead to one. Senior pitcher Cannon Chadwick was able to hold off the Tigers just enough, striking out three over the final two innings including the final batter.

Arkansas is now 20-5 on the year and 5-1 in Southeastern Conference play with the win. It’s the quickest the Razorbacks have reached the 20-win plateau since the 2012 team did it in 22 games. Missouri falls to 21-3 overall and 4-2 in conference play.

Dominic Fletcher, Grant Koch, and Carson Shaddy each provided the power with a home run in the game, while Koch came away with the high RBI total after a three-run home run in the fourth inning. Fletcher had a solo home run in the second inning, which got the scoring going. Shaddy’s long ball came later as the lone run in the fifth.

With their home runs today, all three Razorbacks continue to lead the team with six home runs or more. Koch leads all Hogs with eight homers on the year and is now tied for the SEC lead.

Sunday’s game was the fourth time this year that Arkansas hit three or more home runs in the same game. The Hogs now have 36 home runs on the year, which also leads the league.

It wasn’t just Fletcher, Koch, and Shaddy that provided the offense for Arkansas. Seven different players recorded at least one hit in the game and four recorded two hits or more. Fletcher led all players with a 3-for-4 day at the plate including his sixth homer of the year.

Redshirt senior Josh Alberius earned his second win in as many appearances, giving up just one earned run over three innings and scattering four hits. Kevin Kopps came in to pitch in the middle of the fourth inning an no-hit the Tigers until the eighth, racking up four strikeouts in the process.

Moments That Mattered
Missouri opened the scoring with a single run in the first, but Arkansas had a great response in the next half inning by putting up a three-spot starting with the solo home run by Fletcher. The Hogs followed with three straight hits to bring another run home, forcing Missouri to pull its starter in just the second inning.

Jake Arledge and Chad Spanberger started another rally in the fourth with back-to-back singles, then Luke Bonfield reached on an error to bring a run home. Koch followed with his eighth home run of the year to break the game open and make it 7-1 Razorbacks. It was Koch’s third three-run home run this year and Arkansas’ second home run of the game.

Arkansas looked to be on its way to a comfortable victory after taking a 9-3 lead into the eighth inning, but Missouri started to chip away at the lead, scoring four to cut it to 9-7. After Kopps gave up a lead-off double to Brett Bond and then a single to Alex Samples, head coach Dave Van Horn decided to go to the bullpen and bring in Chadwick.

Chadwick hadn’t given up a hit or a walk in four straight appearances before Sunday’s game, but Missouri was able to work two walks and take advantage of a wild pitch that allowed two runs to score.

Missouri still trailed by two going into the bottom of the ninth, but Chadwick brought his best stuff when it mattered even after another run came home to make it 9-8. The senior got two quick outs to start the frame, but the Tigers scratched across another run after a walk, single, and a wild pitch. Chadwick settled down and struck out Connor Brumfield looking with a runner stranded on second.

Razorback Quotables
“We’ve had a couple games this year that we haven’t let get away. Last year, those games were gone. It was like we couldn’t stop the bleeding or slow it down, even with a good lead. We knew they (Missouri) weren’t done over there and we were starting to run out of pitching and recycle some guys, it’s interesting. The game cane turn on one pitch here or there. When you’re on the road, a lot of times you don’t get breaks, but we got breaks today.” – Head coach Dave Van Horn on his team being able to close out games compared to last year

“We don’t play for one run all the time. We’ll bunt sometimes or hit and run, but we try to hit the ball in the gap. We had three home runs today and I don’t know how many we have on the year, but it’s a good amount. We’ve been able to produce some big innings.” – Head coach Dave Van Horn on his team’s offensive production

“The biggest difference is, mainly, attitude. When things go south like they did in the last two innings today, you just have to believe in yourself and that’s what we were preaching the whole time. It comes about with having some older guys like me, Bonny (Luke Bonfield), and Chad (Spanberger). We didn’t really have that last year and this year, we do.” – Carson Shaddy on Arkansas’ ability to finish tough games

Up Next
The Razorbacks return home for a single midweek game against Grambling State on Wednesday at Baum Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on SEC Network+. The game can also be heard on the Razorback Sports Network with Phil Elson calling the action.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Arkansas and Missouri battled through some bad weather Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium.

Both teams were in a 1-1 stalemate after five innings, but the Tigers scored six runs during a rainy sixth from three home runs, which led to giving the Hogs their first conference loss of the year, 7-2, evening up the three-game series.

Five of Missouri’s six runs in the sixth came off the home run, as the Tigers clubbed three long balls in the game, two off Arkansas starting pitcher Trevor Stephan. The junior’s outing started out like many of his previous starts as he had just given up the one run in the first and held Missouri to just three hits through the first five innings.

Heavy rain began to fall at the beginning of the sixth inning, but play never stopped. The weather coupled with the two Tiger home runs were Stephan’s undoing. He finished with 5.1 innings pitched, four earned runs allowed, one walk, and 10 strikeouts.

Saturday’s game was his second outing this year with 10 or more strikeouts, the other being his career-high 13-strikeout performance against Rhode Island, but the four earned runs were also season high.

Kacey Murphy and Jake Reindl came out of the the bullpen to pitch the remainder of the game starting in the sixth inning. Murphy faced four batters and gave up three earned runs including a home run. Reindl relieved him in the same inning.

Reindl did a great job at keeping the deficit from increasing as he struck out four over 2.2 innings and allowed just two hits. It was his longest outing of the year and the four strikeouts was a career-high.

As for the offense, Arkansas finished with eight hits as a team, five coming from the bats of juniors Luke Bonfield and Carson Shaddy.

Bonfield went 3-for-3 at the plate with a run scored, while Shaddy went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Bonfield continues to lead the team with 10 multi-hit games this season. Saturday’s game was his third three-hit game of the year, which leads all Razorbacks.

Junior Chad Spanberger slugged his fourth home run of the year in the top of the third inning tying the game at 1-1. Spanberger has been strong at the plate as of late. After going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI today, Spanberger has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games and has six multi-hit games this year. In his last seven games, he is hitting .276 with three home runs and 10 RBIs.

Down 7-1, the Hogs tried to mount a rally in the top of the eighth inning, getting an RBI double from Shaddy, his second straight game with a two-bagger. Unfortunately, Missouri reliever T.J. Sikkema closed out the final four innings for the Tigers, picking up his fifth win of the year.

Up Next
Arkansas and Missouri will play the rubber match of this series on Sunday with first pitch slated for 1 p.m. at Taylor Stadium. Right-hander Josh Alberius will take the mound for the Razorbacks and Andy Toelken will pitch for Missouri.

The game will be broadcast online only on SEC Network+. It can also be heard on the Razorback Sports Network with Phil Elson on the call.
