Hogs lose twice, go home wet, winless

NASHVILLE — Arkansas spent a long and dreary weekend in Nashville on a trip the Razorbacks hope soon to forget.
After battling the rain for two days, Arkansas completed two games against Vanderbilt on Sunday and lost both of them. Vanderbilt defeated Arkansas 6-5 in 12 innings in the completion of a suspended game from Saturday then beat the Razorbacks 6-2 in a seven-inning game that followed.
The two victories for Vanderbilt (18-6, 5-3) ended a streak of 11 consecutive series defeats to the Razorbacks dating back to 1994. The teams split four games last season with Vanderbilt beating Arkansas 7-4 in the SEC Tournament championship game at Hoover, Ala.
“It’s been a kind of nemesis Vanderbilt has had in being unable to beat [Arkansas],” Vanderbilt Coach Tim Corbin said. “They’ve had some good teams, and they keep coming after you. You never feel like you have them down.”
