The No. 2 Arkansas Razorbacks (33-6, 12-4 SEC) were defeated by the Texas A&M Aggies (22-15, 7-9 SEC), 7-4, Thursday evening at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.
Ace left-hander Zach Root was a little shaky to start against the Aggies, as he was tagged with four runs in the first two innings. In the end, he allowed seven hits and five earned runs through 4.0 innings pitched. He also notched six strikeouts and three walks.
Arkansas' offense matched Texas A&M's early run production, as it scored two in the first and two in the third, but was shut down through the middle innings of the game. Charles Davalan (two hits) and Wehiwa Aloy (two hits, two-run home run) were excellent at the plate, but the team only managed nine hits in 35 at-bats.
Right-hander Dylan Carter was big-time in relief for the Razorbacks, with four innings of one-hit baseball, zero runs allowed and four strikeouts. Flamethrower righty Christian Foutch entered in the ninth and gave up a solo bast for a huge Aggie insurance run, but collected two strike outs to close his only frame.
