SHREVEPORT — Centenary sophomore Boone Whiting had little problems with No. 18 Arkansas on Tuesday night, as he struck nine Razorbacks in the Gents 8-3 victory at Shehee Stadium.

The Gents scored four runs in the first three innings and seemed to be cruising along until Arkansas brought the game within one in the sixth. All of the Razorbacks tallies came off of the bat of Ben Tschepikow, who blasted a two-run homer in the sixth, while singling one in during the fourth.
