Diamond Hogs heat up late to sweep Leathernecks

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas put away Western Illinois one inning early Wednesday.

Playing under a run rule that was agreed upon before the game, the No. 10 Razorbacks scored two runs in each of their final two at-bats to defeat the Leathernecks 11-1 in eight innings at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Arkansas swept the two-game midweek series and improved to 12-1 this season at home in its final tuneup for Southeastern Conference play. The Razorbacks host Missouri in the SEC opener Friday night.

Arkansas (14-2) won with consecutive one-out, pinch-hit RBI singles by Trey Harris and Matt Goodheart in the eighth inning.
