FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' baseball team will play Missouri State tonight for the first time since the Razorbacks beat the Bears 3-2 in an NCAA super regional game last season at Baum Stadium.
That victory sent Arkansas to the College World Series.
The site and circumstances are a lot different this time. The teams are meeting at Hammons Field in Springfield, Mo., and neither is feeling super about the season.
"We both need a win in the worst way," Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said.
The Razorbacks (26-18, 7-14 SEC) and Bears (28-14, 3-8 Missouri Valley) are struggling to keep alive NCAA Tournament hopes after promising starts.
