FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas senior shortstop Michael Bernal has a simple explanation for the Razorbacks' positive approach while enduring an eight-game SEC losing streak in which they haven't led for even one inning.
"Keep playing," Bernal said. "It's baseball. That's all we've done our whole lives. That's the reason we came to this university, is to play.
"I know we go to school and everything, but we love the game. For a lot of us, this is our life. We love it."
The Razorbacks don't love losing and they aren't used to it.
Dave Van Horn has a 545-310 record in his 14th season as Arkansas' coach and a 1,130-550 overall record in 27 seasons at the junior college and NCAA Division I and II levels.
