Molina dazzles, leads #2 Arkansas to win in finale at Globe Life Field
Mason Molina spun five no-hit innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts to lead No. 2 Arkansas (5-2) to a 4-3 win against Michigan (2-5) on Sunday afternoon in the Kubota College Baseball Series finale at Globe Life Field.
Thanks to their two-win showing over the weekend in Arlington, Texas, the Razorbacks are off to a 5-2 start or better through their first seven games of the campaign for the 22nd consecutive season under head coach Dave Van Horn.
Molina, who was making his return to the state of Texas for the first time since transferring to Arkansas from Texas Tech during the offseason, did not allow a hit and struck out 10 over his five scoreless frames against the Wolverines. The left-hander, who issued one walk and hit a batter, extended the scoreless innings streak by Razorback starting pitchers with his strong performance on the mound.
Since allowing two runs against James Madison on Feb. 18, Arkansas starters Colin Fisher (six scoreless against JMU on Feb. 19), Hagen Smith (six scoreless vs. No. 7 Oregon State on Feb. 23), Brady Tygart (six scoreless vs. Oklahoma State on Feb. 24) and Molina (five scoreless vs. Michigan on Feb. 25) have combined for 22 consecutive shutout innings.
Overall, Molina’s dominant outing in the Hogs’ finale at Globe Life Field capped what was a historic weekend of legendary performances by the Arkansas pitching staff. Razorback pitchers allowed just six earned runs on 19 hits over 31.1 innings of work in Arlington, striking out 59 in total while walking only 10 across three games.
Arkansas recorded a school-record 23 strikeouts in their 5-4 win over Oregon State on Friday night before breaking that record with a 25-strikeout effort during their 2-1 loss in 14 innings to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Individually, Smith stole the show with his program record-tying 17 strikeouts against the nationally ranked Beavers.
In Sunday’s win against Michigan, Ben McLaughlin’s RBI double in the top of the first gave Molina and the Razorbacks an early advantage. The Arkansas offense brought home two more runs in the fourth inning when Will Edmunson was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded before Kendall Diggs’ bases-loaded walk extended the Hogs’ lead to 3-0.
Arkansas pushed its lead to four in the top of the seventh inning, scoring a run on a throwing error by the Wolverines.
Molina departed the game after 81 pitches over five no-hit innings of work, turning the ball over to Will McEntire, who carried the no-hitter into the seventh. A two-out double by Michigan’s Cole Caruso in the bottom of the frame broke up the Hogs’ nine-inning combined no-hitter bid, which they last accomplished against Oklahoma State on Feb. 11, 2006.
Michigan would score its first run of the ballgame in the eighth before tacking on two more in the ninth, taking advantage of multiple Arkansas defensive miscues. The Razorbacks committed four errors in the game, their most since committing four against UAPB on April 14, 2021.
Koty Frank, however, overcame the defensive lapses to lock down Arkansas’ 4-3 win. The veteran right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) and struck out one to secure his second save of the season.
The Razorbacks return to action inside the friendly confines of Baum-Walker Stadium on Tuesday, Feb. 27. First pitch between Arkansas and Grambling is scheduled for 3 p.m. on SEC Network+.

Central Arkansas council hands out 300 free produce bags at Saline County fresh market
BENTON, Ark. (KATV) — Saline County residents got a fresh boost earlier today when the Central Arkansas Development Council hosted its third Fresh Market event in the county, handing out about 300 bags of fresh produce free of charge.
The council, described as the largest community action agency in Arkansas, said the event is part of its ongoing effort to address food insecurity in the state and expand access to healthy food options.
“What we’re here to do is we’re here to be what our community needs us to be,” Randy Morris, CEO of Central Arkansas Development Council, said. “We are here to serve our mission, which is to alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty, to help vulnerable populations achieve their potential and to build strong communities in Arkansas through community action.”
The council also said it was rewarded funds by the government to host an emergency food drive that will happen soon.

No. 6 Arkansas ends top-ranked OU’s 31-game home winning streak with 3-2 decision
FAYETTEVILL – In a thrilling contest that featured 5.1 impressive innings in the circle from sophomore Payton Burnham and a go-ahead two-run home run from Tianna Bell, the No. 6/8 Arkansas Razorbacks defeated No. 1 Oklahoma, 3-2, on Saturday night at Love’s Field to even the series and set up a winner-take-all series finale on Sunday.
Win the win, Arkansas recorded its third victory in program history over a consensus No. 1-ranked opponent, having previously defeated UCLA (Feb. 18, 2011) and Cal (May 19, 2012).
It also marked the Razorbacks’ third win in program history over a No. 1 opponent in the ESPN/USA Softball Poll and the fifth over a top-ranked team in the NFCA Coaches Poll.
Arkansas (36-7, 11-6 SEC) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning courtesy of an RBI double down the right-field line from Kennedy Miller. The Sooners then tied the game, 1-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning, with a solo home run from Sydney Emerling.
Tianna Bell put the Hogs ahead for good by blasting a two-run homer into the left-center field bleachers in the top of the fifth inning. Oklahoma’s Kendall Wells accounted for the final run of the contest with a solo shot to left field, bringing the score to 3-2.
The Razorbacks’ pitching staff did not allow a walk in the win. Payton Burnham was phenomenal in the circle during her 10th victory of the season, striking out three while allowing two runs on four hits in 5.1 innings of work.
Robyn Herron earned her fourth save of the season by retiring the final five Oklahoma batters in the contest.
In addition to Bell’s two-run blast and Miller’s RBI double, Reagan Johnson and Kailey Wyckoff singled in the victory.
Sydney Berzon fell to 5-2 on the season for Oklahoma (41-6, 14-3 SEC) after allowing two runs on two hits with one strikeout in her 4.2 innings pitched.
QUOTABLES
Arkansas Head Coach Courtney Deifel
On the victory…
“Any win right now is a big one for the program. It was really great in this environment just to see our team stay the course and trust themselves. It is a hostile environment that is very loud. They have a lot of energy. For our team to just lean into each other and find a way to get the win was big. Any win is really big, so it just feels really awesome.”
On Payton Burnham’s performance…
“She was in her element. She loves the big moment. She wants the ball, and she was locked in today. She was dialed, and I am really proud of her.”
HOW IT HAPPENED
Payton Burnham earned her 12th start of the season in the circle for Arkansas, while Oklahoma gave the ball to Miali Guachino.
In the top of the first inning, Guachino retired the Hogs in order courtesy of a pair of groundouts and a lineout. Burnham spun a 1-2-3 bottom of the first courtesy of a groundout, strikeout, and a groundout.
Kailey Wyckoff recorded the first hit of the contest with a two-out single up the middle in the top of the second inning. She would later come around to score a batter later on an RBI double down the right-field line from Kennedy Miller, giving the Hogs a 1-0 lead.
Cam Harrison followed Miller’s double with a walk, but OU would escape without further damage courtesy of OU right fielder Ella Parker taking an extra-base hit away from Karlie Davison with a catch at the wall in right field.
Burnham spun another scoreless frame in the home half of the second inning, highlighted by a 6-4 double play from shortstop Atalyia Rijo, who snagged a line drive and threw to Davison at second base to double off the Sooners’ Gabbie Garcia, who reached on a leadoff single.
Brinli Bain drew a one-out walk in the top of the third inning, prompting Oklahoma to make a pitching change and bring in LSU transfer Sydney Berzon.
Wyckoff made an incredible catch with a leaping grab at the wall in left field for the first out of the bottom of the third. She would then catch a pair of fly balls as Burnham completed a 1-2-3 frame.
Berzon retired the Hogs in order during the top of the fourth inning. Burnham recorded a 1-2-3 bottom of the fourth inning while picking up her second and third strikeouts of the night.
Reagan Johnson reached courtesy of a two-out infield single in the top of the fifth inning. Oklahoma first baseman Isabella Imerling tied the game with a leadoff solo home run to left-center field in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Following the home run, Reagan Johnson made a diving catch in right-center field to take away an extra-base hit from Pickering.
Ella McDowell was hit by a pitch to lead off the top of the sixth inning. Tianna Bell then gave Arkansas a 3-1 lead with a two-run shot into the left-center field bleachers, her 14th of the season, tying Dakota Kennedy for the team-lead.
Oklahoma made it a one-run ballgame with a one-out solo home run off the bat of freshman Kendall Wells. Following the home run, Robyn Herron entered the circle and would retire the next two batters faced by way of a strikeout and a lineout.
Berzon retired the Hogs in order in the top of the seventh inning. Herron trotted out to the circle looking to complete the save in the bottom of the seventh.
Herron fanned Imerling for the first out of the frame before issuing a lineout to Johnson in center field for the second out.
She then got Aliana Agbayani to ground out to Karlie Davison at second for the final out of the win as Arkansas evened the series and improved to 36-7 overall and 11-6 in SEC play.
