FAYETTEVILLE — TCU left-hander Nick Lodolo will be one of the first pitchers taken Monday in the MLB draft, but he was only the second-best starter in Fayetteville on Saturday night.
Arkansas starter Isaiah Campbell (11-1) out-dueled Lodolo in a winner’s bracket game. The Razorbacks won 3-1 to move within a victory of a super regional berth.
Lodolo, a 6-foot-6 junior whose first pitch of the night was a 97 mph fastball, lost his command in the fourth inning and had to exit in the sixth, when the Razorbacks scored all three of their runs.
“Yeah, I mean, honestly around the fourth inning I just lost it there,” Lodolo said.
