LEXINGTON, Ky. — Arkansas’ offense had been riding Hagen Smith on Friday nights. In his previous seven SEC starts, Smith had received just 4.5 runs of support from the offense including a pair of one-run wins ahead of the start against Kentucky.
Smith once again held his end of the bargain, striking out 14 while allowing just one run in six innings. He is now 21 strikeouts away from tying Nick Schmidt for the school career record of 345 strikeouts in a Razorbacks uniform.
As for the offense, the first couple of innings felt like the same old story. The Hogs left four runners on base across the first four innings, allowing Kentucky to take a 1-0 lead.
