No. 2 Arkansas uses dominant pitching to down No. 20 South Carolina

Just as it has all season, the Arkansas Razorbacks pitching staff came up clutch in a big game.

Facing South Carolina on the road, the Arkansas offense could only muster four hits and two runs in Friday’s series opener, but the Hogs’ pitchers were on the money.

Hagen Smith once again put together an incredible outing, giving up just one run on two hits and striking out 11 Gamecock batters over six innings of work, as No. 2 Arkansas beat No. 20 South Carolina, 2-1.

Smith’s ERA for the season is now down to a minute 1.53 over 53 total innings, and opposing hitters have an average of just .136 against him. He’s fanned 100 batters in his 10 starts, an average of 10 strikeouts per outing.

Arkansas’ bullpen also held up its end of the bargain in Friday’s contest, as Gabe Gaeckle threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out five South Carolina hitters and setting it up for Stone Hewlett to get the final man out.

Hewlett did just that, and Arkansas’ defense once more prevailed against another elite SEC foe.

With Arkansas’ incredibly average offensive numbers so far this year, the Hogs’ pitching and defense is clearly the reason they remain one of the top teams in the country.

Arkansas’ 33-5 overall mark and 13-3 record in SEC play can all be traced back to incredible performance after incredible performance put forth by both its starting pitchers and relievers.

Arkansas has had flashy offenses in years past, and there’s certainly not a lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball. In some seasons, your offense isn’t going to be anything special. Teams with a lack of pitching depth usually crumble in those seasons.

Arkansas, however, has come to be known as the place where opposing hitters come to not only swing and miss, but to strike out.

No. 15 South Carolina At Missouri

Press Room

After having played a Top 25 opponent in each of their last six SEC series, Mark Kingston and the South Carolina Gamecocks will finally get to play an easier matchup on paper as they take on the Missouri Tigers, who currently possess the second-worst conference and worst home record in the league. However, this is a series that’s been hyper-competitive in recent years, as four of the last six games between both teams have been decided by three runs or less.

A big reason why Missouri has struggled to this point in the season is this: despite the fact they have the second-most at-bats and fifth-most plate appearances in the SEC this season, they rank dead last or are tied for dead last in nine out of nineteen hitting statistical categories. The Tigers also rank second-to-last in hits allowed and first in hit batters as far as pitching statistics are concerned.

Friday
South Carolina Roman Kimball (R-So., RHP) 2-1, 4.10 ERA, 26.1 IP, 26 BB, 36 K
Missouri Logan Lunceford (So. RHP) 1-4, 7.04 ERA, 47.1 IP, 17 BB, 43 K

Saturday
South Carolina Eli Jones (Jr. RHP) 3-2, 3.91 ERA, 53.0 IP, 15 BB, 44 K
Missouri Javyn Pimental (Jr. LHP) 2-2, 3.64 ERA, 42.0 IP, 13 BB, 45 K

Sunday
South Carolina TBA
Missouri TBA

South Carolina man arrested near entrance gate in The Villages

Alfonso Olivares Chavez

A South Carolina man was arrested in an unregistered, uninsured vehicle near an entrance gate in The Villages.

Alfonso Olivares Chavez, 45, of Greenville, S.C., was driving a black Nissan Versa at 8:45 a.m. Thursday at U.S. 301 and Marsh Bend Trail near the entrance to the Village of DeLuna when an officer noticed the vehicle had a vanity tag that said, “Test Drive,” but did not have an actual license plate, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. The officer asked Chavez where the car’s license plate was and he said he “just bought the vehicle and has not registered it yet.”

The officer ran a check and confirmed the vehicle was not registered in any of the 50 states. The vehicle was also uninsured.

Chavez was arrested on charges of driving an unregistered vehicle that was uninsured. The native of Mexico was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $300 bond.
