Hogs close out series sweep, but another pitcher hurt

0

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It’s getting tough for Dave Van Horn to make a lot of pitcher decisions these days.

Mainly because injuries keep happening.

“Somebody’s going to have to step up or we’re going to have to make some adjustments,” Hogs coach Dave Van Horn said after a 6-2 win Sunday.

After losing the planned opening-day starter in Jaxon Wiggins before the first game, then having reliever Brady Tygart have a problem awaiting a second opinion, reliever Koty Frank made everybody groan Sunday at Baum-Walker.

After throwing five pitches to start the seventh inning, Frank grimaced and grabbed under his right (throwing) shoulder. He then threw a warmup pitch in front of trainers and the pain was clearly obvious.

“It’s not his arm,” Van Horn said. “That’s about all I can tell you.”

The Razorbacks closed a series sweep over the Panthers on a sun-splashed (but windy) afternoon in front of over 9,703 who came looking for a lot to cheer about.

That took awhile.

“One of those games,” Van Horn said. “It took us awhile to figure it out.”

The Hogs didn’t get a run until Caleb Cali scored in the fifth inning to tie the game at 1-1, then they added another in the sixth on a homer by Jace Bohrofen.

In the seventh, Parker Rowland led off with a homer, then Jared Wagner delivered an RBI single followed by Bofrofen’s 2-RBI single and the Hogs cruised to the win with that four-run inning.

Hunter Hollan started and got the win, despite some adventures in the first inning that led to a Panthers’ run that mystifies Van Horn, but not the junior pitcher.

“I’ve been doing that since the first grade,” he said later. “I don’t know if it’s trying to do much or what.”

Van Horn just wants it figured out.

He’s got enough problems with pitching as it is.

Razorbacks will at least get some rest before SEC Tournament

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas will finally get some rest.

No doubt the Razorbacks need it riding a three-game losing streak after getting physically hammered in losses for two straight games against Tennessee and Kentucky.

Now they get a break until Thursday when they meet Auburn in the SEC Tournament at 6 p.m.

Hogs coach Eric Musselman doesn’t make excuses, but he probably knows this young team is still figuring out a lot of things and handling the physical grind is part of it.

“We just got fatigued,” freshman Nick Smith Jr. said Saturday after the physical loss to the Wildcats. “We played really hard the hold game. It was just making smart plays throughout the stretch that really hurt us.”

And missing free throws in addition to struggling around the rim on even layups.

“We missed a lot of free throws,” Smith said. “That’s very unacceptable for a team. We’ve got to come in tonight into the gym and work on finishing through contact and free throws.” 

The winner will face No. 2 seed Texas A&M in the quarterfinals on Friday at 6 p.m.

Arkansas is 29-29 all-time in the SEC Tournament. This will be just the second time Arkansas has faced Auburn in the SEC Tournament.

The Razorbacks defeated the Tigers, 75-67, in the 2000 title game at Atlanta’s Georgia Dome for the Hogs’ lone SEC Tournament championship. (Arkansas has finished runner-up five times.)

This will be the 11th year the SEC Tournament will be held in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Arkansas is 8-9 all-time in Bridgestone Arena, reaching the finals twice (2015 and 2017) and the semifinals twice (2001 and 2021).
