Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn had a curveball up his sleeve for game two of the series against Tennessee after the No. 8 Razorbacks dropped the series opener to No. 17 Tennessee 10-7 Friday. Righty Aiden Jimenez will get the ball to start Friday.

No. 14 Tennessee (41-13, 16-12 SEC) totaled 15 hits in its series-opening win at No. 5 Arkansas (41-12, 18-10 SEC) on Thursday. The series will resume Friday (7:30 p.m. EDT, SEC Network+) at Baum–Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This is a big series for both teams. The Razorbacks can clinch a top 4 seed at the SEC Tournament and for all intents and purposes a top 8 seed for the NCAA Tournament with a good showing this weekend. Arkansas also is in the running for an SEC championship.
