Yikes: Arkansas softball swept by Central Arkansas on the season
The Arkansas baseball team has become quite the national power.
But there’s a difference between the nation’s elite and the nation’s second tier. For now, the Razorbacks are in that second group.
Not a bad place to be, certainly, but Tuesday’s 4-0 loss to Central Arkansas – the team’s second against the Sugar Bears this year – was a sign toward to that. UCA set a school record with a crowd of 2,475 in the victory.
Central Arkansas’ Kayla Beaver struck out eight and allowed just five hits with no walks in the seven-inning affair. On the other side, Arkansas’ three errors led to just one of the four Bears runs scored as earned.
UCA plated two in the fifth on a throwing error, then one of the two scored in the sixth came off the same. Beaver retired Arkansas’ final nine batters over the last three innings in order to clinch things.
Arkansas is back at Bogle Park on the weekend for a three-game set with Alabama-Birmingham.
