NM State Softball Complex • Las Cruces, NM

The Razorbacks opened their 2020 season with a road trip to Las Cruces, New Mexico for the 2020 playing of the Troy Cox Classic, hosted by the New Mexico State Aggies, which started Friday, February 7. Arkansas received preseason rankings of #17 by Softball America [5] and Flo Softball, [6] #20 by USA Softball, [7] #21 by D1 Softball, [8] and #24 by NFCA. [9] First pitch on opening day was at 9:30 a.m. CST (8:30 a.m. local MST) against the UTEP Miners. The Razorbacks won their first game of the year in run rule fashion, defeating the Miners in five innings. Arkansas' Autumn Storms spent four innings on the mound, tossing 52 pitches, while Jenna Bloom threw 20 pitches to get the final three outs. For the Miners, Allie Johnson spent the entire contest in the circle, throwing 183 pitches. [10] The Lady Hogs put up one run apiece in the first and second innings before scoring three in the third to extend the lead to 5–0. Another two runs scored in the fourth before freshman Rylin Hedgecock, pinch hitting, ended the contest with a run rule three-run home run, the game's only homer. [11]

The Razorbacks continued their tournament schedule with a doubleheader against the Bradley Braves, with the first game starting on Friday at 2:00 p.m. and the second on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Friday's contest saw the Hogs suffer their first defeat of the season, by a margin of a single run. The Hogs opened the scoring in the first inning off of a Hannah McEwen RBI, and the score remained 1–0 until the bottom of the fourth, when a defensive error cost the Hogs two runs and the lead. The Braves extended their lead in the next inning by virtue of a wild pitch, making the score 3–1. [12] Although the Razorbacks attempted to mount a comeback in the seventh and final inning, it fell barely short, and the Braves picked up the victory, 3–2. Both teams utilized only one pitcher for the entire game—Arkansas stuck with Mary Haff, who threw 72 pitches, while Bradley stayed with Emma Jackson, who tossed 131. [11]

The rematch with Bradley opened the Hogs' second day of tournament play, and they took full advantage of it. Arkansas jumped out to a 4–0 lead in the first inning, via a Kayla Green RBI and a Linnie Malkin three-run homer. The lead was extended to 8–0 with four more runs in the third inning by way of a bases loaded hit by pitch and a three-run RBI double from Sydney Parr. A couple wild throws allowed the Braves to plate a run in the top of the fourth in unearned fashion, though the Razorbacks responded with another four-run inning, extending the lead to 12–1. [13] A scoreless fifth inning from the Braves' offense triggered the end of the game, giving the Lady Hogs their second win of the year, both in run rule fashion. Autumn Storms picked up her second decision of the year after throwing 43 pitches over three innings; she was assisted by Jenna Bloom, who completed two innings in just 32 pitches. For the Braves, Morgan Radford tossed 71 in the first three innings; she was relieved by Grace French, who completed the fourth and final inning in 35 pitches. [14]

The Hogs' fourth tournament game was against the hosts, New Mexico State; first pitch was on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Arkansas fell behind early, surrendering three runs in the second inning, all by way of solo homers. Arkansas responded in the fifth, as Braxton Burnside sent a single to center field that drove home a run. In the sixth, the Hogs plated another, this one from Audrie LaValley's infield single. Arkansas kept it up in the seventh, as they took their first lead of the contest, 4–3, from Danielle Gibson's two-run homer, which was immediately followed by Linnie Malkin's solo home, her second of the day. [13] In the circle, Autumn Storms earned her third win of the year, throwing 39 pitches in 2+2⁄3 innings. The Hogs also saw 1 inning completed by Mary Haff (18 pitches) and 3+1⁄3 by Jenna Bloom (49 pitches). The Aggies relied largely on Matalasi Faapito, who delivered 94 pitches in her six innings of play. She was relieved during the seventh inning by Chloe Rivas, who delivered the last three outs in 20 pitches. [15]

The Hogs' fifth and final tournament game was against Nebraska; first pitch was on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. The Razorbacks' offense got off to their best start yet to close out the Troy Cox Classic, as they plated five runs (including a two RBIs driven home by Linnie Malkin and a Ryan Jackson home run) in the first inning alone. This was followed by a seven-run second inning that saw Danielle Gibson tally one RBI and Ryan Jackson drive home two more before Audrie LaValley recorded the Lady Hogs' first grand slam of the year to make it 12–0. Nebraska's offense responded in the bottom of the third with a pair of home runs to narrow the lead to nine. Arkansas would not be fazed; Braxton Burnside stepped up in the fourth and drilled a three-run home run to increase the lead to 15–3. Nebraska tallied a solo home run in the fifth, but was unable to do anything more and the Hogs won their third run rule contest by a margin of 15–4. [16] Mary Haff tallied her first win of the year, having thrown 25 pitches in 1+2⁄3 innings. She was assisted in the circle by Jenna Bloom, who tossed 45 in 2+1⁄3 innings, and Rylin Hedgecock, who threw 18 in one inning of play. For the Cornhuskers, Lindsey Walljasper received the decision after throwing 75 pitches in 1+2⁄3 innings. The other 3+1⁄3 were played by Courtney Wallace, who threw 82 pitches in total. [17]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Inning</span> Unit of play in baseball, softball, and other similar games

In baseball, softball, and similar games, an inning is the basic unit of play, consisting of two halves or frames, the "top" and the "bottom". In each half, one team bats until three outs are made, with the other team playing defense. A full baseball game is typically scheduled for nine innings, while softball games consist of seven innings; although this may be shortened due to weather or extended if the score is tied at the end of the scheduled innings. The use of the term inning in baseball and softball contrasts with cricket and rounders, in which the term is innings in both singular and plural.
