FAYETTEVILLE — Southeastern Louisiana battered Arkansas pitchers during a seven-run sixth inning and beat the sixth-ranked Razorbacks 7-3 on Friday in the series opener at Baum-Walker Stadium.
The Lions (5-5) will have two chances to win the series Saturday when the teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader. The first of the two nine-inning games is scheduled to begin Saturday at noon.
Four Arkansas pitchers combined to allow 4 hits, walked 3 and hit 3 batters in the sixth inning, which began with the Razorbacks ahead 1-0. Southeastern Louisiana sent 13 hitters to the plate and stranded the bases loaded when Preston Faulkner grounded out to shortstop Jalen Battles on the 51st pitch of the inning.
