Missouri State baseball stuns No. 17 Arkansas with walk-off home run

Things are not going well for Arkansas baseball. The Hogs have lost 4 straight and 5 of their last 6 after falling to Missouri State in extra innings on Tuesday night, 15-14.
Arkansas fell in devastating fashion, too. The game, which lasted just under 4 hours, came to a screeching halt when Missouri State’s Caden Bogenpohl launched a solo home run beyond the fences to walk it off in front of a home crowd. Keep in mind, Missouri State’s campus is located just about 50 miles northeast of Fayetteville.
It’s only fitting that Bogenpohl walked it off Tuesday night, because Arkansas’ pitching staff had zero answer for him. He drew a walk and totaled 3 hits with 3 runs and 2 RBIs, not to mention the game-winner. MSU’s Bryce Cermenelli was fantastic as well, totaling 4 hits with 2 runs and 2 RBIs.
And while Arkansas’ pitching left a lot to be desired, the Razorbacks fared well offensively. Camden Kozeal, Nolan Souza and Christian Turner all posted at least 3 RBIs, with Kozeal responsible for 5 with a Grand Slam in the top of the 7th inning. Check it out:
The Razorbacks need a bounce-back weekend in a major way. After falling in all 3 games against Florida last week, Arkansas will face off against No. 18 Auburn on The Plains. First pitch for this weekend is set for 6 p.m. CT on Thursday.
