FAYETTEVILLE — Halfway through the SEC season, Arkansas is in the driver’s seat in the SEC West.
The fifth-ranked Razorbacks defeated No. 12 LSU 6-2 on Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium to sweep the series between two of the division’s top teams. Arkansas swept LSU for the first time since a 2011 series in Fayetteville.
Cayden Wallace’s two-run single was the big hit in a four-run fifth inning that turned a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead for the Razorbacks (28-7, 11-4 SEC).
