FAYETTEVILLE - Even Mariano Rivera made it interesting sometimes.
The greatest closer in the history of Major League Baseball left the bullpen and headed to the mound accompanied by Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” The greatest pitcher the history of Arkansas baseball enters to Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
The Razorbacks needed that pitcher Saturday and, with some shaky moments, he delivered.
Nursing a one-run lead in the eighth inning and with a Central Michigan runner on third base, Arkansas turned to Zach Jackson. The preseason All-American and potential No. 1-overall pick in this summer’s MLB Draft struck out four batters in 1 2/3 innings of work and Arkansas took game two of the series, 4-3.
