Three Arkansas Pitchers Combine for One-Hit Shutout in Midweek Win against Arkansas State

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – James DeCremer, Steele Eaves and Parker Coiled combined for 13 strikeouts and a one-hit shutout in sixth-ranked Arkansas’ (7-2) 1-0 win against Arkansas State (6-3) Wednesday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Wednesday’s one-hit shutout marked the Razorbacks’ second in three games after Colin Fisher fired an eight-inning complete-game one-hit shutout in Arkansas’ 11-0 series-sweeping win in the weekend finale against Xavier on Feb. 22.

Before this year, the last time Arkansas threw two one-hitters in a season was 2024, when the Razorback pitching staff combined for a one-hit shutout against Missouri on March 16 before doing so again against Arkansas State on April 2.

Kuhio Aloy’s one-out RBI single in the bottom half of the first inning was the only run the Hogs would need all game. DeCremer, an Oregon State transfer, struck out three over 3.2 scoreless innings, allowing A-State’s lone hit in his start.

In relief of DeCremer, Eaves fired a career-long 2.2 scoreless innings with a career-high four strikeouts to earn his team-leading third win of the year. Coil closed out the final 2.2 innings, racking up a career-high six strikeouts to nab the save.

Offensively, Maika Niu (2-for-4) and Reese Robinett (2-for-3, BB) each turned in multiple hit games. Nolan Souza, meanwhile, drew a pair of walks and stole two bases in Wednesday afternoon’s win at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Arkansas’ 18-game homestand rolls on with a series against UT Arlington. First pitch between the Hogs, winners of 33 consecutive non-conference regular season series at home, and Mavericks is 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, on SEC Network+.
