Reed's fourth-inning RBI double proved the winning run in the opener, as Chandler Shepherd and Tim Peterson combined for 5.2 innings of scoreless, one-hit relief in a 5-4 win. Brandon Moore (5 IP, 2 H, 0 R) was strong in relief of Barrett Astin (4 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K) for Arkansas. Cameron Flynn's two-run homer in the fourth provided all the offense Kentucky needed in the second game, as Corey Littrell (6.1 IP, 8 H, 1 ER) improved to 6-0. D.J. Baxendale (8 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K) was strong in defeat.
