Tennessee baseball has lost five straight series and six of its past seven as it heads into the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama.

Arkansas baseball beat one of the best pitchers in America and evened the series against Tennessee Friday night.

The Tennessee Vols are on the road for their final regular season contest against the Arkansas Razorbacks. They look to finish the season strong with a series clinching win Saturday afternoon.

The Razorbacks have been ranked by coaches for 123 consecutive weeks since 2017, which is the longest active streak in college baseball. Arkansas has been included in the top 10 for 74 of the past 77 weeks, and has been ranked in the top 5 each week this season.

A grand slam from Ryder Helfrick and dominant pitching from Will McEntire powered Arkansas baseball past Tennessee Sunday, clinching the series win.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — No. 17 Tennessee came into Friday's series opener against No. 8 Arkansas as just one of four teams in the country with more homers than the Razorbacks. That power was on full display as the Volunteers slugged four homers. Two came from left fielder Dalton Bargo to beat the Hogs 10-7 in the first game of the set.

Arkansas pulled within 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth when Kuhio Aloy doubled against Tennessee right-handed starter Marcus Phillips to score Logan Maxwell. Aloy was stranded when a pair of Tennessee relievers, Dylan Loy and AJ Russell, teamed to strike out Cam Kozeal and Ryder Helfrick in left-left and right-right matchups.

Liam Doyle was named the SEC Pitcher of the Year and also a first-team selection after a dominate season on the bump for Tennessee. Doyle is just the third Vol to receive this honor, joining Luke Hochevar (2005) and Chase Dollander (2022).
