Arkansas turned to great defense and lock-down pitching in the late innings to defeat Southern Cal 6-3 Thursday night at Dedeaux Field in Los Angeles.
Casey Martin followed three walks with a bases-clearing double off the wall in left-center field to give the No. 12 Razorbacks a 3-0 lead in the second inning. They added two runs in the third and a single run in the fourth for a 6-0 lead.
The Razorbacks (4-0) led in hits, 8-4, with Trevor Ezell reaching all five times behind two hits and a walk. He also stole two bases and reached on two errors.
