FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas released its 2019 baseball schedule Wednesday, and for the first time the Razorbacks will play in-state competition.
Home games against Arkansas-Little Rock on April 2 and Arkansas-Pine Bluff on April 16 are the highlights in a non-conference schedule that includes trips to Southern Cal (Feb. 22-24), Texas (March 19-20) and Missouri State (March 26).
The Razorbacks have had a long-standing rule not to play teams from the state of Arkansas in the interest of keeping their statewide support. Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek said an exception will be made for play teams from the University of Arkansas system.
