After Jack DeCooman allowed five runs over one inning in his last start at Arkansas State University on April 3, University of Arkansas at Little Rock Coach Chris Curry pulled the junior from the starting rotation for what Curry called a "mental breather."
The left-hander returned to the rotation Sunday and struck out four and allowed two runs aginst Louisiana-Lafayette. When he exited following the Trojans' three-run fourth inning due to a high pitch count, the lanky 6-5 lefty stood in line for his first win of the season with UALR up 4-2.
But the Trojans couldn't hold on.
