FAYETTEVILLE -- Blaine Knight has been the Arkansas Razorbacks' starting pitcher in every weekend opener this season.
That won't change at the NCAA Fayetteville Regional.
Knight, a junior right-hander from Bryant, will start the Razorbacks' opener against Oral Roberts University at 2 p.m. Friday at Baum Stadium, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville announced Thursday on its baseball Twitter account.
Knight (10-0, 2.78 ERA) said Monday when the regional's first-round matchups and game times were announced that he wasn't concerned about pitching in the afternoon heat.
"Hydrate," Knight said.
