FAYETTEVILLE — If Friday’s eight-inning scrimmage at Baum-Walker Stadium is any indication, Arkansas’ baseball team may have found dynamite in a smaller package for the second straight year.
Former Hot Springs Lakeside standout and freshman second baseman Ethan Bates (5-11, 170) homered while going 3-for-4, scoring three runs and driving in one in leading the Black team to a 5-3 win over the Red squad.
Fellow freshman and designated hitter Jackson Cobb (2-for-2) accounted for five of the Black team’s 10 hits while batting in their team’s bottom two spots in the order.
Jalen Battles, Matt Goodheart, Christian Franklin, Bryce Matthews and Cayden Wallace all added singles for the winners.
