Box Score FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (4/8/25) – Arkansas State baseball (14-18, 5-7 SBC) battled early against top-ranked Arkansas (31-3, 11-1 SEC), but a pair of home runs proved too much in a 7-3 defeat on Tuesday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.
 
Kole Turner (1-4) made his third start of the 2025 campaign, surrendering three earned runs on four hits while striking out a season high six batters over 4.2 innings pitched. The righty allowed one run over the first four innings of action.
 
At the plate, the Scarlet and Black tallied seven hits while Cason Campbell, Jake Henry Williams, and Cason Tollett recorded an RBI. Campbell and Cross Jumper led the team with two hits, with the latter also leading the team with two walks.
 
After Campbell reached third with two outs in the second, Williams lined a shot down the left-field line to break the scoreless tie with an RBI-single. However, the Razorbacks responded in the bottom frame with an RBI-knock of their own to make the score 1-1.
 
Wil French reached on a walk and advanced to third in the top of the third, eventually scoring on a sacrifice fly to push the Red Wolves ahead by one run. A three-run homer in the fifth pushed the opposition ahead by two runs, but A-State responded on an RBI-double from Campbell to make the score 4-3.
 
The Razorbacks added to the deficit with a two-run homer and a bases-loaded walk in the sixth, making it a four-run ballgame with three innings to go. Neither side would score from there, resulting in the 7-3 decision.
 
Dylan Carter (4-0) earned the win while Turner took the loss.
