Hogs' offensive approach good in opener

FAYETTEVILLE — Trevor Ezell opened Arkansas' half of the first inning Saturday in perfect lead-off fashion.

Ezell worked an eight-pitch at-bat against Ole Miss starter Will Ethridge that resulted in a double to the opposite field, down the left field line. Casey Martin singled three pitches later to give the Razorbacks runners on the corners with no outs.

With one out, center fielder Dominic Fletcher replicated Ezell's at-bat, fouling off several pitches and running the count full. On the eighth pitch, Fletcher hopped a single over the head of first baseman Cole Zabowski to score Ezell and tie the game 1-1.
