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.

CORNING, Ark. (KATV) — Regulatory Enforcement Agents with the Department of Finance and Administration, along with local police, seized a significant amount of illegal THC products from Pacific Green in Corning on Tuesday.
According to the DFA, more than a dozen agents joined the City of Corning Police in the day-long operation that resulted in two arrests.
DFA agents seized more than 25 pounds of illegal products consisting of flower, vapes, and edibles.
Owner Ben Bennett and employee Sharia Shipman were arrested and both charged with the following:
- Delivery of a Schedule VI controlled substance (Class D Felony)
- Possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance with the purpose to deliver (Class B Felony)
- Controlled substances – Offenses relating to records, maintaining premises (Class C Felony)
- Possession of drug paraphernalia (Class D Felony)
- Unauthorized use of another person’s property to facilitate certain crimes (Class C Felony)
Bennett’s bond was set at $150,000, while Shipman’s bond was set at $100,000.
“In addition to selling illegal products, investigators confirmed violations involving underage access at this location,” said David Potter, Director of the Regulatory Enforcement Division. “This retailer, which was located within 1,000 feet of a school, presented significant public health and safety concerns. We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
Note: All suspects accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
The Department of Finance and Administration said Arkansans can use Apple Wallet to present their license or ID in person, online and in apps at select organizations, including at more than 250 Transportation Security
IDEMIA Public Security North America and the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration’s Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles have launched Arkansas driver’s licenses and state IDs in Apple Wallet, allowing residents to securely store and use their credentials on an iPhone or Apple Watch.
The new feature gives Arkansans the ability to present their identification at participating businesses and venues, at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints in more than 250 airports, and online or within apps when age or identity verification is required.
The launch builds on Arkansas’ ongoing efforts to expand digital identification options. In March 2025, the state introduced the Arkansas Mobile ID app, and officials say adding IDs to Apple Wallet offers residents another secure and convenient way to access their credentials.
“We’re proud to build on our partnership with the Arkansas DFA’s Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles, expanding on the launch of the Arkansas Mobile ID app in March 2025. The launch of ID in Apple Wallet in the state provides Arkansas residents a new, secure way to store and present their digital credentials, with transparency and control over how their information is shared at the forefront,” said Rob Gardner, CEO, IDEMIA Civil Identity.
To add an Arkansas driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet, users can tap the plus sign at the top of the Wallet app on their iPhone, select “Driver’s License or State ID,” and follow the verification process.
Officials say privacy and security were central considerations in the rollout. Information stored in Apple Wallet is encrypted on a user’s device, and users control when and how their information is shared. When presenting an ID, only the information necessary to verify age or identity is provided.
Apple and the Arkansas Division of Driver Services and Motor Vehicles also do not receive information about when or where residents use their digital IDs.
The technology is also designed to make verification easier for businesses. Participating businesses can use IDEMIA’s Mobile ID Verify app to accept and verify mobile IDs directly from an iPhone without requiring customers to hand over their devices or use additional hardware.
The launch marks another step toward broader adoption of digital credentials in Arkansas, giving residents a secure alternative to carrying a physical driver’s license or state ID while maintaining control over their personal information.
