How to Watch, BetSaracen Odds: Arkansas at Vanderbilt
The No. 2 Arkansas Razorbacks (23-3, 5-1 SEC) will start their second top-15 road series in Southeastern Conference play Friday at Hawkins Field against the No. 14 Vanderbilt Commodores (20-5, 4-2 SEC) in Nashville, Tennessee. The game is set to be televised nationally on SEC Network.
Arkansas won two of three games at a ranked Ole Miss team to open SEC play a couple weekends ago before the Hogs swept South Carolina last weekend in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks lost their first midweek game since 2023 on Tuesday with a 14-13 defeat against the Missouri State Bears.
Vanderbilt lost two of three games at Auburn in their SEC opening weekend series. The Commodores rebounded by sweeping Texas A&M last weekend and they added onto that with a 10-0 run rule win over Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday evening.
Arkansas is 35-33 all-time against Vanderbilt, including an even 15-15 record in games played in Nashville. Under head coach Dave Van Horn, the Razorbacks are 22-26 overall and 8-12 in Nashville against the Commodores.
“There’s no foul territory, the benches are not too far from the fair/foul lines and, you know, a different background,” Van Horn said of Hawkins Field on Wednesday. “But it’s still a baseball field. Just got to get used to it a little bit. The surface is quick. It’s all turf. They play their style of ball and they really do it well at home.”
Van Horn and Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin entered the league together in 2003, and they are two of only four coaches in college baseball history, along with Mississippi State’s Ron Polk and Ole Miss’ Mike Bianco, to win 900-plus games at an SEC program.
With a series win this weekend in Nashville, Arkansas would start SEC play with three straight series wins for the seventh time since joining the league in 1992. The Hogs accomplished the feat in 2007, 2009, 2017, 2021, 2022 and 2024.

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative
LITTLE ROCK, AR (KATV) — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has joined a new national artificial intelligence initiative that launched Thursday, June 25.
RAISE US, started by former Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana and Gina Raimondo, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce is a nonpartisan national organization that will partner with governors, employers, workers and training organizations to help the workforce transition to an AI economy.
“As artificial intelligence transforms America’s economy, we have one clear message: technology should empower people, not replace them. By leveraging our Arkansas LAUNCH initiative, and with the resources and expertise provided by RAISE US, Arkansas will turn that mission into reality. We want the Natural State to be a leader on education, workforce training, and up-skilling, and this new partnership gives us the tools we need to build a model for the entire nation.”
The organization will design and pilot incentives to retrain workers, new approaches to support job transitions, and training models tied to employer demand.
RAISE US launches with more than two dozen American companies and philanthropies and initial state partnerships in Connecticut, Maryland and Utah.
“America has a technology strategy for leading the global AI competition. It does not yet have a people strategy — and we cannot lead without one,” Raimondo, who will serve as CEO of RAISE US, said.
“If we build the best AI systems in the world and leave millions of Americans behind, we won’t have won anything; we’ll have automated our own decline. I believe AI will create new jobs and industries over time, but the transition could be disruptive, and it’s already underway. We shouldn’t fearmonger, but we can’t pretend our training and worker support systems are ready either. It’s time for innovative and practical solutions. This moment demands ambition, urgency, and creativity. We’ve assembled the country’s top companies, best economists, and bipartisan governors at a scale rarely seen — all to advance new ideas and incentives, pilot them with governors and business, and scale what works.”
Governor Sanders is partnering with RAISE US to support Arkansas LAUNCH, an AI-powered career navigation platform that connects students and jobseekers to personalized learning and employer-linked career pathways.
