Arkansas shuts out

Arkansas shuts out Vanderbilt as the second-ranked Hogs (24-3, 6-1 SEC) handed No. 14 Vanderbilt (20-6, 4-3 SEC) its first baseball home loss of the season, securing a 9-0 shutout victory in Friday night’s series opener at Hawkins Field, to win its sixth consecutive SEC game and shut out the Commodores in a home conference game for the first time since 2022.   

The win marked Arkansas’ first shutout win against Vanderbilt since 2005, and the Hogs’ first shutout win against the Commodores in Nashville since 1994. Arkansas will go for the series win tomorrow when the two teams are scheduled to play at 2 p.m. Saturday on SEC Network+ with Kevin Ingram (play-by-play) and Andrew Harris (analyst) on the call.  

With a series win this weekend, Arkansas would start SEC play with three straight series wins for the seventh time since joining the league in 1992. The Razorbacks also accomplished the feat in 2007, 2009, 2017, 2021, 2022 and 2024.
