Arkansas Opens Fall Slate Wednesday

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – As part of its five-date fall schedule, the University of Arkansas softball team opened its fall season Wednesday against Crowder College as Mary Haff, Autumn Storms and Lauren Graves combined to pitch 9.1 scoreless innings, with 14 total strikeouts.

The Razorbacks return to Bogle for two more fall games, Oct. 17 against Butler CC and Oct. 28 against Oklahoma. Both of which are double headers. All home games are open and free to the public. Oklahoma State was part of the NCAA Fayetteville Regional last season while Oklahoma hosted the Razorbacks in last year’s NCAA Norman Super Regional.
