The No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks (39-9, 16-7 SEC) took the series against the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-7, 19-4 SEC) with a 6-1 win at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Junior right-hander Gage Wood was utterly dominant against Texas' batters, notching strikeouts against 9-of-14 Longhorns with no walks, two hits and only one earned run on 57 pitches.

After shutting out the top-ranked team in the land Thursday, 9-0, Arkansas' bullpen picked up where Wood left off by striking out six batters with only two walks. Gabe Gaeckle made it through three innings of two-hit baseball with five strikeouts, while Aiden Jimenez closed out the final two frames with a K and a walk.

Arkansas' offense got going early with a four-run outing in the second and a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. Brent Iredale had a homerun, while Charles Davalan, Wehiwa Aloy, Kuhio Aloy, Ryder Helfrick and Justin Thomas Jr. each collected hits.

As a whole, the offense finished 6-for-30 at the plate with five strikeouts, nine walks and a whopping five hit-by-pitches.
