FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas starters Connor Noland and Cody Scroggins were highly efficient over the first several innings of their starts against Louisiana Tech last week.
Facing a lineup that included five .300-plus hitters, both right handers delivered the best start of their career and left in line for a win. Scroggins earned the win in the series finale after Noland took his fourth no-decision in as many starts the day before.
In both games, the Razorbacks' ability to get off the field quickly stood out. Noland's pitch count through five innings Saturday was 60, while Scroggins' five-inning pitch count was 71 - a per-out average of 4 and 4.
