Arkansas ends skid as offense awakens

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- After the Arkansas Razorbacks were scoreless the final 13 innings of their series against LSU last weekend, the offense was back in a big way Tuesday night.

The No. 15 Razorbacks had a season-high 18 hits and beat Missouri State 12-4 at Hammonds Field before an announced crowd of 2,540.

"I felt like we were going to score some runs," Razorbacks Coach Dave Van Horn said. "I didn't know we'd score this many. I figured we'd bounce back."

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (26-8) bounced back from losses to No. 13 LSU 10-8 and 2-0 last Saturday and Sunday -- the Razorbacks' first back-to-back losses of the season -- after beating the Tigers 9-3 to open their series.
