Overview

  • Arkansas opened the Austin series Thursday with a 2-0 win, built on Robyn Herron’s three-hit, eight-strikeout start.
  • Game 2 in Austin was pushed to 7 p.m. Friday because of storms in the area, slowing Texas’ bid to level the series.
  • Oklahoma–Texas A&M was suspended Thursday in the sixth inning due to nearby lightning, and Friday play looked unlikely with heavy rain in the forecast.
  • Texas would lock a top-four SEC tournament seed and a double bye with a sweep of Arkansas, a target that now requires back-to-back wins.
  • Oklahoma freshman Kendall Wells entered the weekend one home run shy of tying the NCAA single-season record, adding national interest to the weather-delayed series.
