FAYETTEVILLE — A wind chill of 43 degrees didn’t cool off Arkansas pitcher Caden Monke on Saturday.
The sophomore left hander struck out eight batters in 3 2/3 scoreless innings and paced his Red team to a 7-0 victory over the Black team in Game 6 of the Razorbacks’ fall intrasquad series at Baum-Walker Stadium.
The Red team won the best-of-seven series 4-2.
“He was outstanding today,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said. “He was really mixing his pitches, using his fastball, which cuts and sinks. His secondary pitches were really good. He got them swinging at pitches out of the zone they had trouble recognizing.
