After six scoreless innings and having watched Arkansas send nine batters to the plate in the top of the seventh, Texas Baseball finally got on the board at the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington at Globe Life Field on Friday. 

Texas trailed 3-0 when redshirt junior Porter Brown, a transfer from TCU who has a career .286 batting average, hit the team’s first home run of the season to cut into Arkansas’ lead. 

Brown, from San Antonio, Texas, took Arkansas reliever Cody Adcock deep in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Texas added another run in the inning to enter the eighth inning trailing 3-2. Arkansas, though, kept Texas from scoring again as Brady Tygart pitched the final 1.2 innings for the save. 

Arkansas Baseball Vs. Texas Was Pitchers Duel for Six Innings

Before the teams started scoring runs, both had strong starts from their Friday night starting pitchers. Arkansas pitcher Hagen Smith allowed just one hit in five innings and struck out eight batters with no walks. 

Meanwhile, Texas starter Lucas Gordon went five innings and allowed two hits with six strike outs.
