Bogus Smith Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Under Baseball America's Weekend Preview (shown here), it talks about Georgia and Arkansas "slumpin'". Under Arkansas, it goes on to say: Razorbacks coach Dave Van Horn seemed even more unconcerned about his team's recent swoon, which includes losses in three of its last four series and five of its last six games overall. After finding ways to win close games in the first half of the season, Arkansas is struggling late in games now. In the last four weekends, the Hogs are 0-6 in one-run games. "We've been playing good baseball, we just haven't been winning," Van Horn said. "We've just had trouble making the big play, getting the big pitch and obviously getting that big hit. It's been frustrating." Arkansas fell out of contention for the SEC West title when it was swept in three tight games at Alabama last weekend. But the Hogs got back on track with a 3-2 win against Oral Roberts on Tuesday, and Van Horn said he hopes that momentum carries over to this weekend against Mississippi. "It's just big for the morale of the team (to beat ORU)," he said. "Just losing those games against Alabama, they were all nail-biters that went down to the wire. For us to get a win last night—we hadn't won in so long—now we can just get after Ole Miss and play great baseball." I'm glad that the ORU still has some meaning for the Hogs. Maybe this will make them want to continue to series in the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
