Hogs swept away in Starkville

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn stood in a huddle of his players in the visitors dugout and spoke a little longer Saturday night.

His team, which was in first place in the SEC West and ranked No. 3 in the country, had just been swept by the last-place team in the division entering the weekend.

Mississippi State followed its 6-5 victory Friday night -- in which the Bulldogs trailed 5-0 entering the bottom of the sixth inning -- with a doubleheader sweep of 5-3 and 7-5 on Saturday at Dudy Noble Field.

When asked what he told his team, Van Horn said it was between him and his players.
