FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jaxon Wiggins shined in his first collegiate start, and Cayden Wallace swatted a grand slam as the pair of true freshmen did much of the heavy lifting in No. 1 Arkansas’ 8-4 win against Arkansas State on Tuesday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.
The Hogs, now 37-9 overall on the year, completed their sweep of Natural State opponents with the win, improving to a perfect 6-0 against in-state foes this year. Arkansas picked up wins against Central Arkansas, Little Rock and UA Pine Bluff earlier in the season.
Donning gold caps to raise awareness of childhood cancer, the Razorbacks came out strong on the mound. Wiggins was sharp in his first start at Arkansas, striking out three in two scoreless innings while allowing only one hit.
