I don't know, I think as talented as LSU hitting is, the starting pitching did a good job. The second game, that is just one of those instances where a great pitcher pitches a gem, nothing any team can do about that.

Today's game, I would say if any part of Arkansas's team came up short it was the hitting. Ross's fastball is pretty flat, that's why his ERA was just barely sub 5 before this game. If you are a good team with clutch hitting playing at home, like Arkansas is, you have to score more than 3 against a pitcher like that. Leaving the bases loaded and getting picked off at second was particularly costly.
