KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The Razorbacks run Rocky Top.
No. 1 Arkansas took full control of the SEC with a 3-2 victory against No. 4 Tennessee on Sunday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Hogs, now 39-10 overall and 19-8 in SEC play, have won all nine conference series this season.
Starter Lael Lockhart gave Arkansas exactly what it needed, striking out seven in 4 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He turned the ballgame over to the pen, which combined to throw the final 4 2/3 innings.
Kevin Kopps did most of the heavy lifting, striking out four in 3 2/3 innings to lock down the Hogs’ win and improve his record to 9-0 on the year.
Robert Moore delivered at the plate with two runs batted in, including the game-winning RBI single in the top of the ninth.
Arkansas now returns home for the final series of the regular season. The Razorbacks host Florida at Baum-Walker Stadium, getting the three-game set underway at 6 p.m. Thursday on the SEC Network.
