Hollan all Razorbacks need to finish off South Carolina series
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas got what they needed headed to final series of year with Hunter Hollan’s complete game on the mound Sunday afternoon and closed out the SEC series with South Carolina on Sunday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.
Hollan threw 113 pitches and 80 of them were strikes. It now sets up the pitching for next week’s final regular-season series in Nashville against Vanderbilt on Thursday night before the SEC Tournament starts the following week in Hoover, Ala.
The Razorbacks are now likely in a strong position to host an NCAA Regional and Super Regional the following week. Those decisions will be made after the conference tournament.
You wondered if Hollan would make it to the second inning after a first inning that was problems all over the place. He settled down a made one mistake pitch to throw a complete game, giving up
After nobody came close to a hit in the first with both sides going down in order, Cole Messina led off the top of the second with a line double to right-center field to be the first baserunner and moved to third on a single by Gavin Casas. Hollan somehow got out of that mess with an infield popup to first baseman to Brady Slavens and Hollan got a line shot back to him on the mound and he threw Messina out at third.
Hollan gave up a homer to lead off the third inning to Will Tippett over the right field wall. He let two more runners get on base, then worked himself out of another jam, striking out two guys, but South Carolina got on top 1-0.
The Hogs evened things in the bottom of the third when Peyton Holt led off with a single left and scored two batters later on a double by John Bolton for a 1-1 game.
In the fifth, Caleb Cali led off the bottom of the inning with a single to left and moved over on a double by Holt to right field. Parker Rowland scored both of them with a mis-played single to center for a 3-1 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, Slavens hit a one-out shot down the right-field line for a double, then scored on a two-out single to Cali to right field for a 4-1 lead.
Ben McLaughlin added a homer to right-center field that hit the top of the wall and bounced into the scoreboard for a 5-1 lead.
The Hogs are now 38-13 on the year (19-8 in the SEC).
Razorbacks blow solid start by Tygart to even series with Gamecocks
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas could clinch the series with South Carolina in another pitchers duel on Saturday night, 3-1.
The game was delayed about 45 minutes after scheduled start time due to lightning in the area (although none was around the stadium) and a really quick, light rain shower while the field was still covered.
It was a strong seven-inning performance by Gamecocks starting pitcher Jake Mahoney, who threw 90 pitches and scattered five hits, but no runs while the Razorbacks wasted a solid three-inning start by Brady Tygart and Will McEntire struggled early, giving up all the runs in the top of the fourth.
Tygart started fast, retiring the Gamecocks in order after the first pitch was lined into right field that Kendall Diggs made a diving catch to grab. Van Horn said after Friday night’s game he would probably be a regular outfielder next year, but a lot of folks are wondering if he hasn’t played his way there now. Tygart threw just 11 pitches.
Jake Mahoney had a similar start, but he walked Diggs, but no damage when the Razorbacks rang up two quick outs. Mahoney only threw 16 pitches.
The second inning was a carbon copy except Mahoney had a hard-hit liner by Parker Rowland glance off him for a quick single. This is starting to look like another pitcher duel, at least early.
Tygart gave up a leadoff single, then retired the Gamecocks in the third. John Bolton lined a double down the third-base line to lead off the bottom of the third and he advanced to third on a grounder by Tavian Josenberger. Diggs was called out on strikes and Jace Bohrofen popped out to end the innings, still with no score.
McEntire was brought on to start the fourth after Tygart, in his third straight start after missing a big chunk of the year rehabbing an elbow injury, threw 37 pitches, gave up a single hit and didn’t walk anybody.
It probably wasn’t his best start, hitting the first pitcher, then giving up three straight hits that scored a couple of runs. With two outs he gave up another single for the Gamecocks to have a 3-0 lead. The Hogs got a single from Slavens, but nothing else in the bottom of the innings.
McEntire got through the fifth and sixth innings with no further damage. The only thing the Hogs could muster offensively came in the seventh when Slavens and Holt led off the bottom of the inning with consecutive hits, but that ended quickly on a double play and nothing else happened.
In the eighth, the Gamecocks got a runner on after McEntire’s strikeout got away from Rowland behind the plate and he hit the ball with his foot making a slide and the runner reached first. He tried to stretch a two-out slow-rolling ground ball to third baseman Caleb Cali, being thrown out easily.
The Hogs did manage to put up a run in the bottom of the eighth after Josenberger led off and got to second on a wild pitch, then scored on a single by Bohrofen, but couldn’t get anything more
South Carolina got a runner in scoring position, but couldn’t push him across as the Hogs went fairly quietly in the bottom of the ninth.
The Hogs are now 37-13 overall (18-8 in the SEC) and the two teams will close out the series on Sunday afternoon in a scheduled 2 p.m. start with showers in the forecast all around the expected time for the game.
Strong pitching keys Razorbacks’ 4-1 win over South Carolina
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas didn’t need the long ball in the series-opener against South Carolina. They used some key hits and pulled out a methodical 4-1 win over the Gamecocks in a game between a pair of Top 10 teams.
This series may provide a leg up to be one of the top eight seeds for the NCAA Tournament, putting them in position to host a Super Regional matchup. They can thank starter Hagen Smith who didn’t let the Gamecocks get a fast start and Gage Wood finished it strong, not giving up anything and striking out the last two batters.
The win gives the Razorbacks a 37-12 record (18-7 in SEC) and a fast start to the final home regular-season series of the season.
The game had a blazing fast start with Smith and South Carolina starter Eli Jones and the Hogs’ infield again turning a quick double play to end the first after walking the first two batters. They went through the first two innings in less than 30 minutes.
After the Gamecocks didn’t get a baserunner in the third, Peyton Holt led off the bottom half with a line shot down the first baseline for a double. Tavian Josenberger worked a two-out walk, then Kendal Diggs drove home the first run of the game. Jace Bohrofen couldn’t do anything with a pair of runners on base, but the Hogs did get a 1-0 lead.
South Carolina tied the game in the sixth, sending Smith out after throwing 94 pitches over 5.2 innings, giving up four hits, walking three and striking out seven. He left a couple of runners on base for Gage Wood and he got the Hogs out of the inning with a ground-out to third that Caleb Cali knocked down and completed the long throw, leaving the game tied, 1-1.
The Hogs answered with a walk by Bohrofen and a single from Ben McLaughlin that moved Bohrofen to third and he scored on Cali’s double-play grounder. That gave the Hogs a 2-1 lead for Wood headed into the seventh.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Hogs started getting some separation. Holt drew a leadoff walk, then got to third after a single from John Bolton was followed with a two-out RBI by Diggs for a 4-1 lead as the Gamecocks are now into their bullpen with Cade Austin replacing Jones on the mound.
Wood gave up a lone single in the top of the eighth and struck out the last two hitters.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Hogs managed to get Holt to third after a walk and a single by Rowland’s line shot the Gamecocks’ second baseman climbed a ladder to grab to send it to the ninth with a 4-1 lead.
