HawgBeat – How to Watch: Arkansas vs Texas A&M, Starting Pitchers (SEC Tournament)

The 2-seed Arkansas Razorbacks (39-15) will open SEC Tournament play when they take on the 10-seed Texas A&M Aggies (33-23) in the second round at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama, on Wednesday.

Texas A&M defeated Tennessee with a 3-0 win over the Volunteers on Tuesday. Starting pitcher Troy Wansing threw eight innings and allowed just one hit as the Aggies eliminated the Volunteers.

Arkansas right-hander Cody Adcock will make his second career SEC Tournament start and first since he was at Ole Miss in 2021. He pitched 4 ⅓ innings against Arkansas in the 2021 SEC Tournament, allowing two runs on five hits and striking out two while walking two in a game that Arkansas, 3-2.

Razorback head coach Dave Van Horn also alluded to the possibility of freshmen Ben Bybee and Christian Foutch to at least throw once each during the SEC Tournament.

“They both have really good arms,” Van Horn said Tuesday. “We are going to need them so we are going to try and get them out there if it is right.”

Texas A&M will throw right-handed pitcher Nathan Dettmer, who pitched just one inning against the Razorbacks in the regular season series at Baum-Walker Stadium. He pitched a clean first inning but walked the first two in the second inning and was pulled for an apparent injury.

Barrels, flaggers, message boards and signs will guide drivers through the construction work, the agency said.

Mississippi State Baseball Takes Game Two From Arkansas 8-5

The Mississippi State Bulldogs even the series against the Arkansas Razorbacks with an 8-5 win. Once again, the Bulldog offense threatened in the first inning, but they delivered this time as the Razorbacks struggled to find the zone.

The first two batters reached on a walk, and Dakota Jordan hit an infield single to load the bases. Hunter Hines grounded into a double play, but a run scored.

Amani Larry extended the lead with a two-run home run just over the left-field wall. State would add another run in the second after a Jordan RBI walk.

Jurrangelo Cijntje drew the start for MSU, and he was not sharp as he ran into trouble in the second and third. After a two-out walk, Peyton Stovall drove a ball to deep center field, but a great catch by Jordan at the wall ended the inning.

The sophomore outfielder continued his excellent day with a two-run home run to extend the Bulldog lead to 6-0. Logan Kohler joined the home run party as he smashed another two-run home run in the fourth.

Arkansas scored its first runs of the game in the fourth after a walk, a single, and a throwing error. However, Cijntje avoided further damage, and the Bulldogs led 8-2 after four.

Stovall smashed a two-run home run in the fifth to chase Cijntie. He worked 4.1 innings and gave up four runs and two earned runs.

Cam Schuelke relieved Cijntje and got a pair of outs without giving up a run. Brooks Auger took over on the mound for MSU to start the sixth inning.

The Razorbacks got a run back on a sacrifice fly off of Auger. The Louisiana native did not allow another run as he pitched two scoreless innings before handing the ball to Tyler Davis in the ninth.

The lefty closed the game out and secured the win for the Bulldogs. State needed to win one game this weekend, and they have, but they have a chance to take the series tomorrow at 2 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

Ethan Bell, former Chinook and Miles CC point guard, commits to Arkansas school

BOZEMAN — Ethan Bell, the former Chinook all-stater who spent the past three seasons at Miles Community College, has committed to continuing his basketball career at Crowley’s Ridge College, a private Christian school in Paragould, Arkansas.

Bell, a Gros Ventre/Assiniboine tribal member who overcame hardships on and off the court to complete two degrees at MCC, announced his decision Saturday. He told 406 MT Sports he chose Crowley’s Ridge over Montana State-Northern, William Penn and Sterling College (Kansas).

“The coaching staff heavily expressed to me that they feel that I’m the missing piece to their team,” said Bell, a 5-foot-11 guard. “They missed the playoffs by one game and I believe I can help them make that next jump.”

Bell started 31 games for the Pioneers. averaging 7.6 points, 2.3 and ranking among the Mon-Dak Conference leaders with 3.5 assists per game. He shot 49% from two-point range, 40% from behind the 3-point arc and was in double figures 15 times.

Bell was two-time Class C all-state and helped Chinook to its first state tournament berth in 33 years in 2019.

Bell said he plans to major in sports management at Crowley’s Ridge, also the Pioneers. The team, under 17th-year coach Chris Perkins, was 7-21 overall and 3-9 in a conference of Christian schools in the southeast.
