HOOVER, Ala. — Blaine Knight won’t be the lead pitcher for the No. 7 Arkansas Razorbacks for the first time all season when the team opens play tonight in the SEC Tournament.
Coach Dave Van Horn and pitching coach Wes Johnson wanted to keep their ace Knight (9-0) on his normal rest, so the Razorbacks will put either left-hander Kacey Murphy (6-4) or right-hander Isaiah Campbell (4-5) on the mound for today’s nightcap at the Hoover Met.
At approximately 8 p.m., the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (37-17), co-champion of the SEC West and the No. 4 seed, will play No.
