Arkansas completes sweep of Missouri

How sweep it is no matter how you get the broom out of the closet.

Even though Arkansas head baseball coach Dave Van Horn might not use this weekend’s three-game sweep of Missouri for a teaching video, he was happy to get through his team’s SEC opener unblemished.

Casey Optiz’ one-out, walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth lifted the No. 10 Razorbacks (17-2, 3-0) to a 3-2 win over the Tigers (1-8, 0-3) Sunday and a sweep at Baum-Walker Stadium.

“Well obviously I thought it was a great ballgame,” Van Horn said of a game that was scoreless through five innings.
