FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Oral Roberts baseball team lost 6-1 to No. 17 Arkansas on Tuesday night at Baum Stadium.

The Arkansas pitching staff — which used seven pitchers — took a no-hitter into the ninth inning. Jared Schlehuber drove in ORU’s lone run of the game with a groundout in the ninth after Jose Trevino recorded the Golden Eagles’ only hit. Trevino’s hit saved ORU from being no-hit for the first time since 1969.

ORU (21-19) was held to one hit for the second time this season. Phillip Wilson (1-2) made his first start for ORU, pitching two innings while allowing two runs off two hits.

Arkansas starter Trent Daniel (1-0) threw three innings with five strikeouts as the Razorbacks (29-12) defeated the Golden Eagles for the third straight year.

The Golden Eagles return to Summit League action against South Dakota State at 3 p.m. Friday in Brookings, S.D.
