LIVE BLOG: Hogs Can't Hold Off Oregon in Run-Rule Loss Sunday
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas couldn't get the key pitching or hitting and Ariel Carlson hit a pair of homers for six RBI in the fifth inning for a run-rule 14-4 win at Bogle Park on Sunday afternoon.
It ended the season for the Razorbacks, who were beaten by Oregon earlier to land in a hole where they had to win two games over the Ducks on Sunday to advance to a Super Regional.
The Hogs finish the season with a 40-19 record and will start making preparations now for next season.
You can follow along for the recap of how it unfolded for the Hogs below:
Game 1:
First Inning
Top: Rylin Hedgecock, who delivered that massive bomb to get them to Sunday, drove in the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly after Reagan Johnson and Raigan Kramer started the game with back-to-back singles against Ducks starter Stevie Hansen. A walk to Cylie Halvorson was followed with a walk a batter later to Hannah Gammill to load the bases with two out. but Kacie Hoffman lined out to center to end the threat. Hogs 1, Oregon 0
Bottom: Oregon answered with leadoff batter Kai Luschar getting a walk from Hogs starter Chenise Delce, then a one-out walk was followed by a single from Ariel Carlson to tie the game. The Ducks then a three-run homer from KK Humphries to center field that has opened a huge lead early. The Hogs out of the game with no further damage. Oregon 4, Hogs 1
Second Inning
Top: Lauren Camenzid leads off with a single but can't get anybody else to advance her.
Bottom: Delce retires the Ducks in order to keep everything the same. Oregon 4, Hogs 1
Third Inning
Top: Hogs get a one-out line-shot single to right by Halvorson and Kristina Foreman takes a pitch off her shin to put two on with one out for Gammill. The junior from Beebe delivered a three-run homer to right field that has tied the game again. Hogs 4, Oregon 4
Bottom: Oregon got a pair of back-to-back singles, but then the Hogs' infield turns a double play and an infield pop-up ended the inning. Hogs 4, Oregon 4
Fourth Inning
Top: Razorbacks get a single from Johnson, but nothing else for a fairly quick inning.
Bottom: Delce walks the leadoff batter, then gives up a single and coach Courtney Deifel makes a change in the circle and brings in Callie Turner with nobody out and two runners on base. Oregon gets an RBI single to re-take the lead. Oregon 5, Hogs 4
