'MVP' Scroggins pitches a pall over Rebels' attack

FAYETTEVILLE -- Cody Scroggins was on high alert along with the rest of the University of Arkansas bullpen at the start of Monday's decisive Game 3 of the NCAA Fayetteville Super Regional.

If starter Patrick Wicklander got into trouble, particularly in the early innings against the power-packed Ole Miss lineup, Scroggins was going to be the first reliever up for the No. 5 Razorbacks.

The call from Coach Dave Van Horn came in the second inning with two outs, runners on second and third base and the Rebels holding a 1-0 lead. A wild pitch by Wicklander to two-hole hitter Ryan Olenek had moved those runners into scoring position and set up a 2-1 count for Scroggins to inherit.
