The Razorbacks’ Kevin Kopps overcame a sluggish seventh inning and pitched three innings to close an Arkansas victory for the second consecutive day. The Rebels’ Taylor Broadway allowed three two-out runs in the eighth inning.
“It came down to Broadway and Kopps, their guy against ours,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said. “Fortunately for us, we got the lead.”
