The Rebels will roll into their double-header Friday at Baum Stadium in Fayetteville firing on all cylinders, after commanding an impressive 9-1 victory over the No. 14 Razorbacks on Thursday night.

Until the eighth inning, Arkansas ace and starter Blaine Knight sent most every Rebel batter back to the dugout, with the exception of Tim Rowe. Rowe hit a two-run shot in the top of the second inning to score the first runs of the game.
