Hagen Smith and No. 2 Arkansas (40-7, 17-5 SEC) dominated No. 8 Kentucky baseball (33-10, 16-6 SEC) in game one of a three game series by a score of 10-3 Friday.
Smith entered the game billed as one of the best pitchers in the country and lived up to the billing in his six innings in which he struck out 14 Wildcats.
“He did to us what he’s done everybody else and, quite frankly, I thought we’d have better at bats on that but he got us 14 times in six innings,” Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione said.
