FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.   Utilizing a strong relief performance by sophomore Jake Reindl and some clutch hits late in the game from Jax Biggers and Eric Cole, 14th-ranked Arkansas was able to split its doubleheader with Ole Miss Friday afternoon with a 7-4 victory at Baum Stadium. The Rebels took the first game over the Razorbacks 4-1.

Reindl, who came into the game in relief of Kacey Murphy in the second inning, went a career-long 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one earned run and scattering six hits with five strikeouts.

Biggers and Cole recorded their only hits in the game as part of the three-run eighth, but they both game with two outs to help Arkansas take the lead and hold it for good.

Grant Koch came away with the best day at the plate among all Razorbacks, going 3-for-8 (.375) with two home runs, a double, and four RBIs. Carson Shaddy and Chad Spanberger also added two hits each in the victory. Spanberger hit his 10th home run of the year in the fifth inning to tie the game at the time at 3-3.
