Back and forth game for the Hogs and Bulldogs as White has huge game
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The pitcher-catcher combo of Hagen Smith and Hudson White carried No. 5 Arkansas to a 7-5 series-opening win over No. 14 Mississippi State.
Trailing 5-4 entering the eighth and staring down the first loss of the season in a game started by Smith, the top of the order stepped up. After Wehiwa Aloy tied the game with his third single of the game, White broke the tie with a two-run single into left to make the score 7-5 leading into the ninth.The final three outs didn't come easy.
For the first two and a half batters of the game, it looked like Smith was in for a clunker. He walked the first two batters on full counts and fell behind the three-hole hitter Dakota Jordan 3-0. However, in typical Smith fashion, he fought back to strike out Jordan and get out of the inning with no damage.
However, the Bulldogs struck quickly and got all three runs back after loading the bases against Smith in the fifth with two walks and a ground ball single. Hunter Hines flared a ball over first base into the right field corner to clear the bases with two outs.
