Hogs' coach wanted to win in 14-4 loss, but wasn't going to let it affect the next few weeks regardless.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — No matter how many different ways the media tried to rephrase the question, Arkansas Razorbacks coach Dave Van Horn wasn't going to say he waved the white towel to get out of College Station sooner Saturday.
"I would have rather played nine innings, obviously," Van Horn said. "I wanted some guys to get some hits. I mean, the guy's behind 0-2 in the count, throws a breaking ball away, started walking off the mound, it's a ball. Don't walk off the mound. Next pitch, sure enough, hits it off the end of the bat, it bloops in, game's over."
At that point, Van Horn didn't want to put himself in a bind for the next two weeks trying to win a game that really doesn't matter by Sunday morning which way it came out. The goal all along hasn't been to win a game after they've already won the West and winning one more won't change much of anything for chances in Omaha. That probably will hold true next week, too, but he'll have his team ready in Hoover, Ala., for the SEC Tournament.
