Three things we learned about Arkansas baseball after sweeping No. 1 Texas
Arkansas baseball achieved a significant milestone by sweeping No. 1 Texas in a three-game series at Baum-Walker Stadium, outscoring the Longhorns 28-9.

Coach Dave Van Horn highlighted the discipline of his hitters, emphasizing their ability to wait for good pitches. Despite missing key pitcher Gage Wood, Arkansas managed to keep their momentum going, with Zach Root delivering a standout performance in the series opener.
The Razorbacks entered the weekend with a three-series losing streak in conference play but now have a renewed sense of hope.
