Mississippi Valley State no match for Diamond Hogs in opener

FAYETTEVILLE - A team from the lowly Southwestern Athletic Conference had Arkansas baseball down. On the ropes. Mississippi Valley State led against the No. 22 team in the nation.

Then the Diamond Hogs came to bat.

The Arkansas bats did more damage Tuesday than their entire first three-game set with Central Michigan had combined. The final line score recorded 19 Arkansas hits, 10 walks and 21 runs in a smashing of the visiting Delta Devils, 21-4.

Arkansas scored five runs in the bottom of the first to counter Mississippi Valley State’s one in the top. Another five came in the second.
