Diamond Hogs ready for Grambling State after College Baseball Showdown
Our editor, E.Wayne, predicted Arkansas to finish opening weekend at the College Baseball Showdown 1-2, but the Hogs gained an extra win in the final game.
Next for the Razorbacks is the Grambling State Tigers. The Tigers started the season in the Cactus Jack HBCU Classic, only winning their last game against Mississippi Valley State 14-4.
INF Cameron Buford, catcher John Garcia, and OF Trevor Hatton lead the Tigers. The three players combined for 33 home runs, Buford and Garcia were the only players who finished with double-digit home runs.
Arkansas shouldn’t struggle in this game, especially after giving up 18 runs last weekend to No. 18 TCU. Some could say that was a wake-up call because the staff only allowed one run to the No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys in the next game.
“You learn a lot about your team a lot times after a bad loss. They showed a lot of – I don’t know the word I’m trying to use – I always thought we were tough, so I don’t really want to use the word toughness. I don’t question that one bit.” – Dave Van Horn
Let’s see if they can keep that momentum going against Grambling State. The first pitch is at 3:00 pm on SEC Network.
