Play-by-Play Narrative:
For many years, Hogville members who love Razorback Baseball have come together to produce these game threads with play-by-play narrative for those that depend on it as their only source and for those that just simply enjoy it. These threads have been a foundation for great Hogville discussions and that tradition continues today as this is NOT a read only thread (all Hogville posting rules apply).

JHGiunta will provide the play-by-play narrative for this game.  Razorbacks#1, A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S, JHicks3636, Maddhog, Wisco Pig, sir-pigs-a-lot, ucahogfan and Cornfed Pig will assist with stats, back up, and support. We hope that the many other regular posters will join in also and continue to add quality input. If you are new to Extra Innings and you understand the rules, feel free to join in the conversation.

[A_R_K_A_N_S_A_S]

[JHicks3636]

Are we just praying that Spanberger and Cole get it going? Is there really no alternative on even a short term basis?

[onebadrubi]

I would of thought this game would be televised. 

We need to win this series to get our RPI back on track!

[JHGiunta]

I'm off today and as long as my stream holds steady i could help out with pbp if needed

Razorbacks, Tigers enjoy resurgence after last-place finish in SEC baseball divisions last year.

The Arkansas Razorbacks and Missouri Tigers were last-place finishers in their SEC baseball divisions a year ago, but look at last year's also-rans now.

The Razorbacks and Tigers have the two best records in the conference heading into their showdown in the Show-Me State this weekend.

"We're hot, they're hot. I think it'll be a good one," Arkansas shortstop Jax Biggers said.

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (18-4, 3-0 SEC) will take a six-game winning streak into today's 6:30 p.m. series opener against No. 20 Missouri (20-1, 3-0 SEC) at Taylor Stadium in Columbia, Mo.
