COLUMBIA, Mo. -- In the media notes, the Arkansas baseball team is dubbed the Soooieville Sluggers.
The Razorbacks lived up that billing Sunday. Arkansas outslugged Missouri in the first half of Sunday's rubber match at Taylor Stadium and survived a furious comeback attempt from the Tigers. The Razorbacks clinched the series victory with an 9-8 triumph over No. 20 Missouri.
Arkansas (20-5, 5-1 SEC) snapped the Tigers' nation-leading 20-game winning streak Friday, and two days later, the Razorbacks handed Missouri (21-3, 4-2) its first series loss of the season.
It was also the first time that the Tigers lost a game in which they scored in the first inning.
