Brady Slavens homered and drove in four runs to back a sterling two-hit pitching performance as the No. 8 Arkansas Razorbacks blanked No. 9 Texas 4-0 in the Sunday nightcap at the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington, Texas.
The University of Arkansas improved to 2-0 in the season-opening tournament and shut out the Longhorns (0-2) for the first time in 33 years, since a 5-0 win in Austin, Texas, on May 7, 1988.
The Razorbacks will go for a showdown sweep in today’s 6 p.m. finale against No. 10 TCU (1-1), which owns the only Big 12 win of the showdown.
