on five hits and two walks while striking out two in his 4 2/3 innings of work.

The right-hander threw 60 pitches, including 40 for strikes, before giving way to Dylan Carter (1.1 IP, 1 R), who was the first reliever to emerge from the Razorback bullpen and earned the win to improve to 5-0 on the year.

Tied at seven in the top of the seventh, Tavian Josenberger’s clutch twoout, two-strike single to right scored Cali, who led off the inning with a single, from second to put Arkansas back in front.

Stovall, the very next batter, laced a single through the right side to score Josenberger, who advanced home on a fielding error by the Ole Miss right fielder.

Ole Miss cut its deficit to one in the bottom of the seventh, but the Arkansas offense had more left in its tank.

Jace Bohrofen began the eighth with a leadoff double to left before Kendall Diggs brought him home with an RBI single to right, extending the Razorbacks’ advantage to 6-4.

Arkansas’ third two-run lead of the game would hold.

True freshman Gage Wood spun the final three innings, allowing just one run on three hits and a walk while fanning a career-high four.

The Batesville, Ark., native, aided by Jared Wegner’s spectacular diving catch and Josenberger’s tremendous running catch in the bottom of the ninth, locked down his second career save to secure the Hogs’ series-clinching win in Oxford.
