Benintendi bounces back in opener

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Arkansas' top player rebounded in a big way Friday.

Andrew Benintendi had three hits and accounted for four runs in the Razorbacks' 8-6 win over Oral Roberts.

Benintendi, who was named national player of the year by Collegiate Baseball on Thursday, had singles in the first and eighth innings, and a double in the sixth inning. The two-run double off ORU reliever Hayden Holly gave Arkansas a 4-3 lead.

He scored on Tyler Spoon's double in the next at-bat, helping the Razorbacks to a four-run sixth inning. Benintendi also scored on Clark Eagan's eighth inning triple, extending Arkansas' lead to five runs.
