TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — No. 9 Arkansas (19-4, 4-1 SEC) struggled early and often in a 10-0 loss to Alabama (19-5, 2-3) to even the three-game series on Saturday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Starting pitcher Connor Noland (0-1) picked up the loss in 1 2/3 innings. The freshman allowed 3 hits, 3 runs and walked 2 batters. The Razorbacks used five more pitchers, but were unable to be effective against Alabama’s offense.
“We just got off to a bad start on the mound. Our starting pitcher was behind and didn’t have his breaking ball today,” Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said.
