Transfer lefty returns to Razorback rotation after two week hiatus
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Coach Dave Van Horn has opted to leave Hagen Smith on the bench for the series opener, instead announcing that fellow lefty Mason Molina will get the start against Southeast Missouri State to open the Fayetteville Regional.and was charged with four earned runs in just one inning of work. In the time since, the lefty has pitched five scoreless innings out of the bullpen across two appearances and only allowed one baserunner with five strikeouts.
Even with the Razorbacks being heavy favorites against the No.4 seed in the region SEMO, there is an inherent risk to leaving your ace, who has carried the Hogs to an overwhelming majority of its success, on the bench. Van Horn hinted at the potential of starting Molina earlier in his pre-regional press conference.It's an interesting conundrum higher seeded coaches often find themselves in with varying schools of thought.
Van Horn opted against that and instead will send Molina to the mound against SEMO. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday and will be streamed on ESPN+.
