Arkansas baseball coach Dave Van Horn stepped onto the field at Hoglund Ballpark on Thursday, outlining the Razorbacks' mindset as they head into the NCAA Lawrence Regional.
A Critical Test for the Razorbacks
Van Horn emphasized that the team has spent weeks fine‑tuning both its offense and defense, aiming to translate that work into a strong performance against the University of Kansas.
Key contributors such as infielder Robert Moore and reliever Heston Tole have been instrumental in the squad's recent surge, providing the depth and experience needed for a deep tournament run.
The Razorbacks have been training rigorously, focusing on pitch sequencing, base‑running efficiency and defensive positioning, all while maintaining a competitive edge in the SEC.
Friday's game, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. CT, marks the first step toward the Super Regional and, ultimately, the College World Series, a goal that has driven the program throughout the season.
