Arkansas senior, Randall Fant, led the way for the Razorbacks with a career high 8 strikeouts and allowing one run in six innings of work as the #12 Diamond Hogs defeated Texas A&M 2-1 Sunday to clinch the series 2 games to 1.
This will give the Razorbacks 4 conference series wins out of 6 total played and they will improve to 27-15 overall and 11-7 in SEC play. The Aggies however will drop to 22-19 on the year and 7-11 in conference play.
Offensively, Arkansas was led by sophomore, Brian Anderson, who had a pair of RBI’s in the first and third innings to give the Hogs just enough to overcome Texas A&M. After a 15 hit performance on Saturday night, Arkansas put up 11 hits on the board Sunday but couldn’t capitalize leaving six runners on base from the fourth to the eighth innings. Eight of the nine starters for Arkansas today recorded at least one hit.
Fant along with the bullpen combined only surrendered three hits and one earned run to the Aggies. The bullpen threw three scoreless innings in relief with Landon Simpson, Trent Daniel, and Colby Suggs on the mound for Arkansas.
Next, the Razorbacks will finish a four-game homestand on Tuesday as they host #13 Oklahoma. The game will be televised on CST(Cox Sports Television) and first pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.
