How to Watch, BetSaracen Odds: Arkansas vs. Portland

The No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks (12-1, 0-0 SEC) are set to begin a three-game series Friday against the Portland Pilots (5-8, 0-0 WCC) at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Arkansas is fresh off a pair of seven-inning run rule wins of Louisiana-Monroe on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Razorbacks outscored the Warhawks by a score of 29-4 across the two contests.

Getting the nod on the mound Friday against the Pilots will once again be sophomore ace Gabe Gaeckle, who gave up nine earned runs on 10 hits in three innings last Friday in the 11-10 win over Charlotte. Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn said Wednesday that he thinks Gaeckle has handled the last week really well.

“He’s upset with himself,” Van Horn said. “He’s a hard-worker. He’s a dedicated kid, man. He wants to win and he wants to be as good as he can be. He’s got a lot of pride. I look forward to watching him pitch on Friday. I think he’ll have a really good outing.”

Portland won two of three games last weekend in a series against Utah Tech before the Pilots were shutout, 3-0, by Washington on Tuesday in Seattle. The Pilots rank fifth in the West Coast Conference in batting average (.242), seventh in fielding percentage (.967) and second in earned run average (5.02).

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative

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.
