FAYETTEVILLE -- As if the University of Arkansas didn't have enough trouble with a four-game losing streak, now comes a minor injury issue with Friday night starter Connor Noland.
Coach Dave Van Horn said at Wednesday's Swatter's Club meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn that the right-hander Noland (2-0, 2.00 ERA) would not pitch in the No. 10 Razorbacks' weekend series against South Alabama so he could rest a strained left oblique muscle.
