📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Keeping Track. Arkansas track and field used the Texas Relays and Stanford Invitation to accelerate the outdoor season in the right direction.

The Razorback sprint medley team broke the program record Friday in Austin with a second-place time in the race with a time of 3.41.51. Bowerman watch list standout Britton Wilson anchored the relay with a 2:04.50 split on the 800m leg. On Saturday, Britton and the Arkansas 4 x 400m relay won the event with their winning time of 3:29.96.

Out west, Arkansas men’s track and field finished first and second in the shot put at the Stanford Invitational. Jordan West took the title and Rojé Stona right next to him on the podium, and Jordan only needed one throw to get his winning distance of 66-0.25. Thrower Ralford Mullings also became the second Razorback to exceed 200 feet in the discus to win the event.

🔺 How Sweep It Is. The 10th consecutive SEC road series win for Arkansas softball came in dominant fashion. The Hogs swept Mississippi State for their first series victory in Starkville since 2009. The series was won Saturday afternoon thanks to an 11-0 shellacking by the 10th-ranked Razorbacks. Seven runs were scored by the good guys in the fourth and fifth innings leading to a run-rule win. Sunday featured sophomore Raigan Kramer stepping up in the clutch with a go-ahead two-run home run in the top of the seventh to help lock in a 5-4 win. The Razorbacks move to 27-9 overall and 8-4 in SEC play after sweeping the Bulldogs for a third-straight time.

🔺 Still Striking. Arkansas soccer’s second exhibition resulted in a shutout over Kansas State. The Hogs put in four goals and surrendered none to the Wildcats in a 4-0 victory at Razorback Field. Forward Ava Tankersley scored two of the goals, including one just a minute into the game, freshmen Taylor Berman and Zoe Susi followed suit as well.

🔺 Back, Back, Back…GONE. Arkansas baseball has not been kind to, well, baseballs of late. The 23-win Razorbacks have now hit a home run in 24 consecutive games, continuing their streak in a two-win series against Alabama.

Win No. 1 came Saturday night thanks to a pair of eighth-inning homers from Jace Bohrofen and Caleb Cali. The two home runs gave the Hogs a three-run lead they would eventually hold onto in a 9-6 victory.

Another long ball courtesy of Jared Wegner drove in two of his three RBIs on Sunday in the 5-4 series-clinching win, but the bullpen was highlight in Baum-Walker Stadium. The trio of Cody Adcock, Dylan Carter, and Gage Wood combined to pitch 8.1 innings and allowed just two runs on five hits against the Tide. Gage’s 1.1-inning save only took 10 pitches.
