FAYETTEVILLE — Texas made have made the dumbest base running mistake of the year Friday night, thwarting a late comeback bid against Arkansas.
Trailing 6-1 in the seventh, the No. 1 Longhorns were seriously threatening to make a game of it after being gifted a pair of base runners with one out.
A rare error by defensive wizard Wehiwa Aloy put Will Gasparino on, as the shortstop’s throw to first on a routine grounder pulled Reese Robinett’s foot off the bag, and then Casey Borba managed to check his swing in a full count for a walk.
