USC's last series with Arkansas was all pitchers' duels. Why that won't happen again

Before the Presbyterian loss that came to mark the turning point in South Carolina baseball's season, the Gamecocks traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas, in mid-April for a three-game set with the Razorbacks.

On Thursday, freshman Logan Chapman started the game for USC and went four innings, leading a surprising 3-2 win for the team. But after rain washed out the Friday game, Carolina's offense went dormant, scoring no runs in 14 innings across an abbreviated Saturday doubleheader to drop the series.

That April 12 win for South Carolina marked the last time Arkansas lost at home, and the only time this season an SEC team topped the Hogs at Baum Stadium.
