Coach Speak
"We're looking forward to starting a good series this year with Arkansas State. I have a lot of respect for Mike Silva and Cody Livingston, who were both my assistants here at Little Rock, and they're off to a blistering start with some big wins already," head coach Chris Curry said. "We're definitely going to be in for another tough battle. I think it speaks to the quality of baseball in the state of Arkansas that all your Division I programs are competing at a high level nationally. As an Arkansas guy, that makes me very proud."
