A look at Friday night’s college baseball action

Arkansas did two things against lefty Hunter Barco (2nd Round possible) that few teams have managed. They extended him, and scored off of him. Barco gave up three runs over five, and was tagged with the loss, despite seven strikeouts. The top five Hogs scored seven of the eight runs, and five came in the eighth. As such, the game was more compelling than it appears from the 8-1 final score.
