The top nine teams remain the same, but the Bulldogs jumped six places into the top 10 after two shutout wins against Mississippi State last weekend. Graduate pitcher Shelby Walters hit a five-inning no-hitter in Saturday’s 10-0 five-inning win.
The Razorbacks made a big jump from No. 17 to No. 11 this week after winning two of three games against Florida. The streak ended with the Arkansas hitting double-digit runs for the eighth time this season as they defeated Florida 12-2.
