📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Run(s) Rule. The 20th-ranked Razorback softball team capped their four-game road tilt with an 8-0 run-rule win vs. Texas A&M-Commerce Monday afternoon. Three Arkansas pitchers, lead by Hannah Camenzind, held the home team to just four hits across five innings, and combined for the Hogs’ ninth shutout of the year.

Arkansas fused together eight runs on 13 hits – 10 of which were scattered across the first two innings. Reagan Johnson went 3-for-3 and crossed home plate twice for two runs scored and stole a base. Rylin Hedgecock went 2-for-3 with two RBI, Cylie Halvorson busted two RBI doubles, and Bri Ellis increased her hitting streak to nine games.

The Hogs return home this weekend for a three-game series against Mississippi State.

🔺 No More Debate. All five major polls agree on the No. 1 team in college baseball, and that team is the Arkansas Razorbacks. The National College Baseball Writers Association bumped the Diamond Hogs up from the second spot to the top-ranked spot where all four other major publications had them last week. Arkansas is riding a 13-game winning streak heading into the second weekend of SEC play.

🔺 Leap of Destiny. National indoor honors announced by USTFCCCA on Monday included three accolades for the Razorback women’s program. Chris Johnson earned Coach of the Year, Boogie Johnson received Assistant Coach of the Year, and Rachel Glenn collected Field Athlete of the Year following Arkansas’ Indoor National Championship. Rachel claimed her second NCAA high jump title with the victory in Boston two weekends ago. Previously, she won the 2021 NCAA Outdoor title with a 6-4 (1.93) clearance.

🔺 Taking Over a Dynasty. Chris Johnson was in the background as an assistant under Lance Harter for over a decade. Now, he’s is the head man for Arkansas women’s track and he’s already solidifying himself as the man for the job—winning the Indoor National Championship in his first season at the helm of the program.

Hear why Coach Johnson was able follow in a legend’s footsteps so quickly and successfully in the latest episode of the Hog Pod.
