Arkansas wasted no time rubbing it in on social media after completing a series sweep of No. 1 Texas in baseball this weekend. The Razorbacks quickly took to X, formerly Twitter, following their 13-8 victory on Saturday to gloat a little bit.

The official Arkansas baseball account posted a GIF of the “Horns Down” sign that many Longhorns rivals use to mock Texas’ “Hook ‘Em Horns” signal. Arkansas was the first time to win a three-game series against Texas all season, so it certainly earned the right to talk a little trash.

The Razorbacks won the first two games of the series on Thursday and Friday to set up the chance to secure the sweep Saturday. Both teams went scoreless across the first two innings before Texas opened up a 3-0 lead after the top of the third. Arkansas answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 3-2 heading into the fourth.

After Texas added another run in the top of the fourth, the Razorbacks answered with four more to take its first lead, 6-4 going into the fifth. Texas refused to go away, though, retaking a 7-6 lead after scoring three runs in the top of the eighth.

Arkansas came right back with three of its own to take the lead for good. A three-run homer from Charles Davalan made it a commanding 12-7 lead heading into the eighth inning, and the Razorbacks held on from there.

Arkansas added another run in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI groundout from Reese Robinett to take a 13-7 lead into the final frame. Texas chipped into it a little bit with a solo home run from Jalin Flores, but that would be the only run it could muster as it went on to lose.

Landon Beidelschies got the start at pitcher for the Razorbacks and allowed four runs with four strikeouts in four innings of work. Dylan Carter picked up the win with 2.2 innings of work as he struck out two and allowed only one hit.

The series win for Arkansas is its first since a sweep of Missouri in early April. The Razorbacks now sit at 40-9 (17-7 SEC) on the season and in second place in the conference standing behind the Longhorns.

Arkansas will hope to use the momentum from this series win against Texas to close out the regular season strong. The Razorbacks have the weekend to celebrate before they get back to work preparing for a three-game series against LSU beginning on Friday.
