The No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks 7-1 (0-0 SEC) and the Grambling State Tigers 4-4 (SWAC 0-0) faced off in Baum-Walker Stadium today. Although the Hogs came into the game with a significant talent advantage over Grambling, the team with the superior talent must still go on the field and win.
As Daniel Shi, an Arkansas beat writer at Sports Illustrated, reported, the Tigers did not do themselves any favors by allowing 13 free passes. The Razorbacks demonstrated their power in the fifth inning, scoring six runs. Unsurprising to those who have watched the Razorbacks this season, their pitching was excellent again. The ability to score many runs and deliver great pitching propelled the Arkansas Razorbacks to a 14-3 run-rule victory over the Grambling State Tigers in the seventh inning at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville. Arkansas's strong performance against Grambling generated many positive reactions on social media.
