Arkansas did not play well in its first game Sunday against fifth-ranked Stanford, but a silver lining for the No. 4 Razorbacks during the 5-0 loss was the performance of the bullpen.
Four relief pitchers combined to allow 10 base runners, but just 1 earned run in 6 2/3 innings. The Cardinal also scored an unearned run against reliever Heston Tole following an error.
Tole (3 innings) and Issac Bracken (1 2/3 innings) gave Arkansas every chance to climb back into the game. The Razorbacks recorded just three hits and stranded the bases loaded twice to squander their opportunities.
