No. 6 Arkansas couldn't keep its hot streak going Sunday afternoon as Stetson got a 4-1 win at Baum-Walker Stadium. The Razorbacks scored early but couldn't generate offense after the first inning while the Hatters used one big frame to take control.

Why it matters

Arkansas entered the game with momentum after winning the first two games of the series, including a dominant 13-1 victory on Saturday. Sunday's loss dropped the Razorbacks to 12-4 overall, while Stetson improved to 6-10 and avoided a series sweep.

The details

Damian Ruiz sparked the Arkansas offense early with a leadoff double in the first inning. Two batters later, Camden Kozeal delivered an RBI double down the right-field line to give the Hogs a 1-0 lead. However, Stetson starter Trace Hartman settled in and helped shut down the Razorbacks' lineup. In the fourth inning, the Hatters flipped the game with a three-run homer from Jayden Hylton that gave them a 4-1 lead, which proved to be enough.
