Arkansas sweeps the first day of the Woooo Pig Classic

Fayetteville, Ark. -The No. 11/12 Arkansas Razorche scored a few Run Rule victories by defeating Iowa (9-0, 5 Inn.) And Illinois (12-4, 6 Inn.) On the opening night of the Woooo Pig Classic in Bogle Park.

Arkansas won Run Rule victories in 12 of his 16 games this season and marked the fourth time in the program history that the pigs scored 12 or more Run Rules in one season. The razorbacks have reached the 2014 (16), 2022 (15) and 2023 (14) feat.

Both competitions ended with Homeruns. Kailey Wyckoff ended the 9-0 victory against Iowa with a two-run shot on the right field at the end of the fifth inning, while the Grand Slam of Courtney Day at the end of the sixth inning completed the 12: 4 stroke of the Fighting Illini.

Robyn Herron (6-0) was again masterful during the victory against Iowa. Herron only allowed one goal while he had scored six and went one during the abbreviated complete game shutou. It was the fourth start in a row in which Herron brought a no-grille into the fifth inning. Kailey Wyckoff led the Hogs' on the plate with a 2-3 day day, on which a Homerun was played with two runs, three runs and two walks.

In the victory against Illinois, Courtney Day went with a career high of six RBI with the kind permission of a Grand Slam and a double with two runs. Rice Beuerlein won her second win of the season after scoring 10 batteries with a high season and allowed two deserving runs over four innings of work.

IOWA

Pitching was dominant in the early innovations by The Hogs 'and Hawkeyes' Matchup, since no team scored a goal in the first two innings of the game.

Herron pulled her first nine battery back when she hit three, highlighted by a diving trap by Johnson in the deep field to the left in the middle, followed by Raigan Kramer, who later reaches a dough over the shoulder on almost the same dough.

Reagan Johnson took the bottom of the third with a walk before steel. Wyckoff and Bri Ellis followed with walks to load the bases for the day, the Arkansas 1-0 with a bloop single to the flat center. Atalyia Rijo and Ella McDowell extended the lead to three, with the kind permission of a victim fly or the RBI single.

Iowa has two runners in the top of the fourth over a walk and a blow onto the dough, but that is that all Hawkeyes from Herron would apply.

In the half of the fourth half of the fourth, Arkansas loaded the bases with a successive singles by Johnson and Wyckoff and Ellis from a field. The starter of Iowa, Talia Tretton, left the game after holding a screaming line from Wyckoff from his left shoulder. Tretton was replaced by Jaylee Ojo, which spent three consecutive bases, which extended the Hogs' lead to six before Raigan Kramer scored 7-0 with an RBI single on the left field line.

Ojo only faced four batteries before he was replaced by Haley Downe, who would record the rest of the way for Iowa.

Iowa spoiled Herron's no-hit bid in the fifth inning with a one-out single in the middle of Tatianna Roman. Johnson went into the lower half before Wyckoff hit a Homer with two runs over the right field wall to make them the final in favor of Arkansas.

Tretton (3-1) took the loss for Iowa after he had granted five runs with four goals and five walks in 3.1 work.

ILLINOIS

Rice Beuerlein excluded the team to open the game before Arkansas came to an early 2-0 lead for an early 2-0 lead in the left field at the left field.

Illinois (8-7) replied with a Homerun with two runs in the second page of the designated player Ella Cushing.

In the end of the second route, Arkansas achieved the leadership of Karlie Davison's RBI triple, which Raigan Kramer achieved, who previously arrived with an infield single.

After a 1-2-3 upper half of Beuerlein, Kailey Wyckoff took the right side to tear down the lower edge of third place before the Illini deliberately went to Bri Ellis, which ultimately fell a double in the left Zentner field gap to achieve two. Ella McDowell drove in another run with a victim fly to do it 6-2 in favor of the pigs.

Illinois added two runs with the friendly approval of an Arkansas error with two outs in the fourth inning.

The razorbacks (16-1) then put the game away by exploding six runs in the lower edge of the six. Kailey Wyckoff hit the choice of a field player, with the bases to be invited to drive in one run, while Reagan Johnson was able to achieve the second with the kind permission of an Illini error. Ellis then scored her third walk in the competition to increase the razorche lead to 8: 4 before Courtney Day ended the game by reaching her first career grand Slam to the left field to make the final with 12: 4.

Beuerlein won the victory for Arkansas and improved to 2-0 in the season after collecting 10 strikes and allowed two deserved runs with three goals and a walk. Lauren Wiles fell to Illinois 4: 2 after he had allowed 12 races (10 deserved) on eight goals and five walks while he was two.

Quotable

Arkansa's head coach Courtney Deifel

During the day…
“I was really happy with the day. Robyn (Herron) started very well. We somehow felt it at the beginning and it took a while to get things going. Robyn and our defense gave us the freedom to keep the course and let our crime flow. Raigan Kramer and Reagan Johnson made two outstanding catches in the outer field. Reagan Johnson was maybe the best I saw. It was incredible. That was the different building for us and then we simply stayed the course and took what they gave us. We fought very well in the second game. I thought rice Beuerlein really good. Her things were electrical today. She gave me a pitch and I will sit down more than rice. I thought she was really well competed. Then Payton (Burnham) came in and closed the door. We have made some flubs in defense, which is really not what we are … In the end, our offense really got going. Courtney Day was excellent, she had six RBI. I am very satisfied with the day. There are things that we can do better and many things that we did really well. “
