FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ baseball team will challenge itself this week against similarly aged players in a different stage of their careers.

The Razorbacks will host the Texas Rangers instructional league team at Baum-Walker Stadium for a pair of scrimmages beginning with a nine-inning contest Wednesday at 6 p.m. The teams are scheduled to play seven innings Thursday beginning at 4 p.m.

Admission is free to both scrimmages.

The scrimmages at Arkansas are part of a week-long college tour for the Rangers, who lost 8-1 at Oklahoma State on Monday.
