FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Tennessee starter Craig Cobb threw a complete game to get an 11-6 win Saturday for the Volunteers over Arkansas.<br> <br> Cobb (5-1) gave up six runs on nine hits, walking one and striking out four.<br> <br> Arkansas connected for a season-high four home runs but could not keep pace with Tennessee&#39;s steady offense.<br> <br> The Razorbacks fall to 22-6 and 3-5 in the Southeastern Conference, while the Volunteers improve to 18-9 and 2-5.<br> <br> Tennessee jumped on Razorback starter Charley Boyce early, scoring two runs on a one-out double by Kelly Edmundson in the top of the first.<br> <br> Arkansas answered quickly in the bottom half of the inning on Craig Gentry&#39;s leadoff home run to left center. Four batters later, Jake Dugger launched a two-run bomb to almost the same spot as Gentry, giving the Razorbacks a 3-2 lead.<br> <br> James Gilbert relieved Boyce in the second after the Volunteers took a 5-3 lead. Boyce (3-1) lasted only 1.1 innings, allowing five runs, all earned, on six hits while walking one batter.<br> <br> Gentry knocked in his second run of the evening in the bottom of the second with a two-out single, but the Vols continued to light up the scoreboard in the top of the third with a two-run homer by Jarred Frazier off of Gilbert, making the score 7-4. Julio Borbon&#39;s single increased Tennessee&#39;s lead to 9-4 in the top of the fifth.<br> <br> After allowing four runs in the first two innings, Cobb settled into a groove, holding Arkansas scoreless for 5.1 innings before Arkansas freshman David Hum hit the first home run of his career, a solo shot. In the bottom of the ninth, Blake Parker hit Arkansas&#39; fourth home run of the game.<br> <br> The 19 hits and 11 runs surrendered by the Razorback pitching staff were season-highs.<br> <br> (Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press.
