Jones has done a good job for ORU for forcing Arkansas batters to pop up the ball. 4 of the first 5 outs from Jones were pop-ups, though Jake Dugger's shot went deep to center before being caught at the warning track. Schmidt struggled in the first, but had no trouble getting ORU to go 1-2-3 in the 2nd. He throws a nasty breaking ball that is very hard to swing, but ORU is making him pitch, waiting for the count to go high before taking a swing, while Arkansas batters tend to swing away more at the first pitch. This could be a factor later on, as Jones, if he stays out of trouble, could be able to go deeper.

Schmidt just recorded K #4 to start the 3rd inning...that number will keep rising steadily as we go deeper.
