NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – 24 hours after playing a game with 23 combined runs on 23 combined hits at Baum Stadium, it was a drastically different story Wednesday at Dickey-Stephens Park. No. 9 Arkansas edged out Memphis 2-0 and held the Tigers to just one hit in the ballgame.
The loss dropped the Tigers to 21-17 overall and 1-8 over the last nine games. The grueling stretch against ranked opponents continues this weekend as Memphis hosts USF for a three-game weekend series at FedExPark.
Arkansas scored the only runs of the game on a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning.
