Arkansas reliever Kevin Kopps reacts Friday, April 2, 2021, after recording the final out of the Razorbacks' 6-5 win over Auburn at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — In a dominating season, University of Arkansas relief pitcher Kevin Kopps was at his most dominant last weekend at South Carolina.
Kopps retired all 15 batters he faced in closing the No. 1 Razorbacks’ 6-1 and 5-1 victories over the Gamecocks and had 12 strikeouts.
“Kevin was making incredible pitches, and he was throwing those incredible pitches inside the strike zone,” Arkansas pitching coach Matt Hobbs said.
