— Arkansas took advantage of six errors to rally and beat Bryant 16-6 on Sunday before 2,172 at Baum Stadium.

The Razorbacks swept the three-game series.

Bryant jumped to a 5-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning, but missed a chance for the final out in the bottom of the frame when second baseman Cole Fabio threw wildly to first. The Hogs would go on to score five runs in the inning and take a 6-5 lead on Jake Arledge's two-run home run to left field. That followed a two-run single by pinch hitter Jaxon Williams.

The Bulldogs (2-5) tied it in the seventh against reliever Dominic Tacolini, but the Hogs made him the winner with five runs on just one hit in the bottom of the frame. Bryant shortstop Jimmy Titus committed three errors in the inning to give him six for the weekend.

Catcher Grant Koch singled to start the seventh, then Carson Shaddy and Dominic Fletcher followed with walks. Jordan McFarland plated Koch on a groundout to Titus. After Jax Biggers walked, Williams lined out to deep center to plate Shaddy.

Titus committed three straight errors to plate three more. Two came when he couldn't make the toss to second for easy force outs.

The Hogs added five in the eighth, with two scoring on a wild throw by the third baseman. They scored 15 runs in their last three innings at the plate.

Arkansas (6-0) defeated Bryant 11-8 and 13-7 in the previous two games. The Razorbacks will travel to Louisiana Tech on Tuesday for the start of a two-game series.

Koch went four for five – all singles – to raise his average to .407. Williams had a pair of two-run singles and a sacrifice fly for 5 RBI.

Taccolini (2-0) recorded four outs in the sixth and seventh to get the victory.

Titus hit a solo homer in the second for the visitors from Smithfield, R.I. The Bulldogs added a run in the third on an RBI single by Mickey Gasper.

Chris Wright added a two-run homer in the sixth. Bryant plated another run in the sixth with three straight hits after a walk, but the Hogs escaped further damage when Arledge gunned down a runner at third, his second assist of the game from right field.
