Hogs find foes for fall baseball

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas baseball team will play more than intrasquad scrimmages in fall practice.

A new NCAA rule allows teams to play two exhibition games without counting against the 56-game regular-season schedule, and Arkansas will take on Oklahoma and Wichita State.

The Razorbacks, who finished second to Oregon State at the College World Series last season, play at Oklahoma at noon next Saturday and at home against Wichita State at 6 p.m. on Oct. 5 -- the Friday before the Arkansas-Alabama football game.

"The way we lined up it up, we feel like it breaks up fall ball," Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said.
