RUSTON, La. -- Carson Shaddy hit a two-run home run with no outs in the ninth, but quiet bats in the first eight innings and a crucial Shaddy error in the sixth led to the No. 24 Arkansas Razorbacks first loss of the season, 4-3, to Louisiana Tech at J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park.
The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville was 1 of 8 with runners in scoring position and 2 of 16 with runners on to supply little help for first-time senior starter Josh Alberius. He threw a career high 5u2153 while giving up 1 earned run.
