Pitchers and Matchup Notes

Arkansas plans to start left-handed pitcher Colin Fisher on the mound for Sunday’s game. He has yet to allow an earned run this season. The Mavericks had not announced their starting pitcher at the time of the preview.

This series is only the 11th time the Razorbacks and Mavericks have played in baseball. Arkansas leads the all-time series and this weekend marks the first time UT Arlington has come to Fayetteville.

Twenty years have passed since these teams last met on the diamond, back when Arkansas swept UT Arlington in Honolulu in 2006.

Arkansas Comes in After Split With State Rival

Before facing UT Arlington, Arkansas hosted in-state foe Arkansas State in a mid-week series. The Hogs lost the first game 12-4 but responded with a 1-0 win in the second game. That opening loss was notable because it marked the first time Arkansas had ever fallen to Arkansas State in program history.

The Razorbacks enter this Sunday matchup with confidence after their big Game 2 victory in this series.

Mavericks’ Recent Results

UT Arlington came into the weekend with a three-game losing streak. They lost to Dallas Baptist 6-1 earlier in the week. In their weekend series at Lamar, they took the first game 10-2 before dropping the next two games 5-4 and 5-3.

The Mavericks’ recent play adds context to Arkansas’ efforts to take the series lead Sunday.

Sunday’s Series Wrap

Sunday’s game at 11 a.m. on SEC Network+ will decide the weekend series. Both teams will look to end on a high note and build momentum for the coming weeks of the season.
