Razorbacks finish sweep of Auburn in opening SEC series Sunday.

Hogs get solid six innings from Cody Adcock on the mound, Jared Wegner delivers towering homer in win.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Maybe all the concern over Arkansas’ pitching staff was for nothing.

Apparently they’ve figured it out.

Cody Adcock started against Auburn on Sunday and delivered six solid innings, not giving up any runs and just a single hit that did no damage with no walks and the Razorbacks closed out a sweep in the first SEC series of the season, 5-0, on Sunday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.

“We were hoping to get four innings out of Cody and got six,” Hogs coach Dave Van Horn said.

The only game that was really close in all of them was the opener because the Hogs didn’t break that game open until the fourth inning.

The temperatured was announced at 40 degrees for first pitch, but that was obviously a reading in the sunshine. It felt much colder and there wasn’t much wind throughout the game.

The game was tight until the third inning when Tavian Josenbarger got a two-out double, Peyton Stovall was hit by a pitch then Jared Wegner hit a towering 470-foot homer to left field that landed up past the Hog Pen for a 3-0 lead.

The Hogs added to it in the fourth when Jace Bohrofen led off with a hit and another double by Kendall Diggs set it up for a 2-RBI single to left field by Harold Coll.

Austin Ledbetter worked the seventh and eighth innings. Gage Wood got one out in the ninth, but gave way to Hagen Smith out of the dugout, who got the final five outs.

“It wasn’t super pretty by any means,” Van Horn said. “That was the only disappoing part.”

The Hogs are now 18-2 on the season and 3-0 in the SEC.

They will host Southeast Missouri for a Tuesday game at 3 p.m. and the long home stretch will end with a road trip to Baton Rouge to play LSU beginning a three-game series Friday night in a game on ESPN2.
