The No. 1 Arkansas Razorbacks (31-3, 11-1 SEC) won 7-3 over the Arkansas State Red Wolves (14-18, 5-7 Sun Belt) in a midweek bout Tuesday evening at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayettevile.
Arkansas State right-hander Kole Turner was mostly excellent in his start, as he struck out six Razorbacks and exited in the fourth inning with two runners on base. Those two did come around to score thanks to a Charles Davalan two-run shot, which gave the Hogs a 4-2 lead at the time.
As a team, the Diamond Hogs went 11-for-33 at the plate with two long balls, 13 punchouts and five walks. Arkansas also had three stolen bases, all of which came from Nolan Souza.
Right-hander Tate McGuire made his second career start in the game, and he exited after three innings pitched with five hits allowed, two earned runs, one walk and two strikeouts.
Behind efforts from righties Ben Bybee, Dylan Carter and Carson Wiggins and left-handers Colin Fisher and Cole Gibler, the bullpen kept Arkansas State in check through 4.0 innings. That group allowed just one earned run and racked up five strikeouts to just two walks.
