Jacob Palisch turned in 2 innings of strong relief as the Aggies topped then-No. 3 Arkansas in Sunday afternoon’s rubber match, 11-10, on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. The game appeared to be firmly in hand with the Aggies at 10-3 after 5 innings, but Arkansas scored 7 of the next 8 runs to close out the scoring.
