CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Two members of Arkansas’ baseball team are back near their old stomping grounds.

Arkansas pitching coach Matt Hobbs had the same title at Wake Forest from 2015-18 and right fielder Chris Lanzilli played for the Demon Deacons from 2018-21.

The Wake Forest campus is about 80 miles from Chapel Hill, where the Razorbacks will play North Carolina this weekend in an NCAA super regional. Wake Forest and North Carolina compete in the ACC.
