TULSA, OKLA—The Oral Roberts baseball team dropped the mid-week finale in lopsided fashion as Arkansas took it by a final 16-0 in seven innings.
 
Right hander Luke Puffinbarger made his first career start going a career-high 3.0 innings giving up four hits, three runs, all earned, three walks, and one strikeout.
 
The Razorbacks came out hot at the plate threatening in the opening frame loading the bases but came up empty as Puffinbarger maneuvered through trouble.  Arkansas would capitalize in the second and third innings, however, making it a 3-0 ballgame. 
 
 In the fourth the Razorbacks blew the game open scoring 12 times on 10 hits taking advantage of two ORU errors.  The frame was highlighted by two, two-run homers and a two-run triple taking a 15-0 advantage.  They'd get one more in the sixth before putting the game to bed in the seventh with the run rule in effect.
