FAYETTEVILLE — Kevin Kopps entered Saturday's game against Georgia at a critical juncture.
The Razorbacks had scored seven runs in the second inning to take a 7-1 lead, but the Bulldogs were clawing their way back. Georgia had chased Arkansas starter Josh Alberius and reliever Kacey Murphy was hooked after a pair of situational at-bats, and the Razorbacks' lead had been trimmed to 7-3.
Kopps entered with the bases loaded and one out in the fourth. Georgia two-hole hitter Cam Shepherd waited at the plate representing the tying run.
But Kopps, a redshirt freshman right-hander, needed only one pitch to get out of the jam.
