 Arkansas has officially announced the starting rotation for its opening series against Central Michigan.

Junior right-hander Dominic Taccolini will start Friday's game at 3 p.m. Last season, he was 6-4 with a 4.32 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 77 innings pitched.

Game 2's starter will be freshman right-hander Blaine Knight, with first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m. While it will be Knight's first start as a Razorback, it won't be his first start at Baum Stadium.

Knight earned MVP honors of the 2014 Class 7A state championship game after throwing a six-inning shutout and helping Bryant beat Fayetteville 10-0 at the Razorbacks' home ballpark.

Sophomore Keaton McKinney will take the mound Sunday at noon. He went 6-2 with a 3.21 ERA in 87 innings pitched last season, earning freshman all-America honors from Louisville Slugger.
