FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman right hander Will McEntire was as sharp in his first start Tuesday as he was in his college debut three days earlier.
McEntire allowed one run over six innings in the No. 15 Razorbacks’ 6-1 victory over Grand Canyon. Arkansas (10-5) has won three in a row and will go for a midweek sweep Wednesday at 3 p.m.
McEntire, who Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said last week was the most frustrating pitcher for his hitters to face in preseason practice, has allowed one run through his first eight innings. He has thrown just 87 pitches this year, 68 of which came Tuesday.
