FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas scored four runs in the sixth inning and overcame a shaky ninth to beat Missouri 7-6 Friday at Baum Stadium.
The Razorbacks led 7-3 entering the ninth, but the Tigers hit two home runs off reliever Jordan Rodriguez in the span of three at-bats to pull within 7-6. Zach Jackson worked around a walk in the inning to record a two-out save.
Turning Point: With Arkansas trailing 3-0 and the bases loaded, Josh Alberius entered the game with no outs in the second inning. Alberius retired the top three batters in the Tigers' batting order to keep the Razorbacks within three runs.
