FAYETTEVILLE — The first pitch for Tuesday’s baseball game between No. 1 Arkansas and Arkansas-Little Rock has been moved to a 3 p.m. start time.

The game at Baum-Walker Stadium was originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. but was changed due to a cold weather forecast. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures Tuesday night will be in the 30s with an overnight low of 30. 

Arkansas (19-3) had a 15-game win streak snapped Sunday with an 8-6 loss at No. 24 Auburn. Tuesday begins a 10-game homestand for the Razorbacks. 

The Trojans (13-11) won a home series against Morehead State over the weekend. UALR, coached by former Arkansas volunteer assistant Chris Curry, was predicted to win the Ohio Valley Conference by league coaches.
