FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas did not allow an earned run, but the third-ranked Razorbacks lost their series opener at Texas A&M 2-1 on Friday.
The Aggies scored two unearned runs in the fourth inning and Texas A&M pitchers made key pitches down the stretch.
Arkansas third baseman Cayden Wallace committed a two-base error to start the fourth inning. Wallace fielded a grounder hit by Dylan Rock, but he threw low toward first baseman Peyton Stovall and the ball went out of play, which allowed Rock to advance to second base.
Texas A&M catcher Troy Claunch hit a one-out RBI single to score Rock and Arkansas pitcher Connor Noland issued a two-out bases-loaded walk against Kole Kaler to force home the Aggies’ winning run.
