Razorbacks steal Bears' hitting coach

Missouri State announced on Friday that assistant coach Nate Thompson has resigned his position in order to accept a job at the University of Arkansas.

Thompson will serve as an assistant coach for the Razorbacks, while also taking over as their recruiting coordinator.
