Hogs fight back to avoid sweep

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The University of Arkansas scored five ninth-inning runs, escaping a sweep with a 14-12 victory over Vanderbilt at Hawkins Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Razorbacks (26-10, 9-6 SEC) had 22 hits, 9 two-out RBI, got the leadoff man on 7 times, and scored more runs against the Commodores than any SEC team this season.

Arkansas' pitching was another story. But right-hander Marshall Denton struck out the only two batters he faced to get his first save.

"We were due to have that big inning, and we finally got it," Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said.
