Pregame
Arkansas and Illinois State will go for a series victory today. The Razorbacks are looking to avoid dropping a regular-season nonconference series loss at home for the first time since 2014.
Sophomore right hander Jaxon Wiggins will throw for the Razorbacks today. Wiggins has electric stuff, but his command was shaky in the preseason.
Illinois State will start veteran right hander Derek Salata. It will be the first start for the Redbirds' former closer.
