FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn knew his pitching staff probably had a high strikeout total in its first exhibition of the fall, but he didn’t know exactly what that figure was.
As he exited the team’s postgame huddle in shallow left field, he was handed a box score from the Razorbacks’ 10-1 scrimmage win over former Arkansas assistant coach Todd Butler’s Wichita State club. Van Horn glanced at the pitching totals.
“Wow,” he said under his breath prior to speaking with reporters.
Arkansas’ pitching dominated the Shockers throughout the 14-inning exhibition, and it all started with a strong first four innings from right-hander Isaiah Campbell, who struck out eight and allowed one earned run on four hits.
