HOUSTON — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn can stomach a loss if he feels like his team played hard, played smart and gave itself a chance to win.
But he felt like his No. 5 Razorbacks handed a 6-3 victory to Oklahoma on Friday at the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic at Minute Maid Park by allowing four unearned runs, including three in the bottom of the seventh after the game was tied 3-3.
That meltdown came after Robert Moore and Jacob Nesbit had hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning off Oklahoma ace Cade Cavalli, who struck out 11 hitters, to give the Razorbacks 3-2 lead.
