Live Blog: Razorbacks Don't Waste Time Downing Vanderbilt

The Hogs and Commodores rush through final part of second game of series in less than an hour.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas can't afford to lose the second game of the final home series against Vanderbilt.

After a rain-delay Saturday night, the game resumed Sunday morning with a seven-inning third game set to start around 2 p.m. but more rain and bad weather is predicted starting about 1 p.m. so everything is rushed.

Including the Hogs, apparently off to a fast start.

Arkansas starts fast in the resumed game, as Vandy pitcher Patrick Reilly hit Zach Gregory to start the resumed game, then walked a batter to get replaced by Brett Hansen. The Hogs managed to push across a run and appear seriously more interested in this game than the Commodores.

Vanderbilt was unable to do anything in the top of the ninth and the series is now tied at a game apiece with the third — and deciding — game set to start at 12:40 this afternoon, an hour and 20 minutes ahead of the originally-scheduled time and everyone is hoping the weather holds off long enough to play the final home SEC series of the regular season.
