FAYETTEVILLE -- Catcher Grant Koch squared some balls up and drove in a couple of runs during the No. 12 Arkansas Razorbacks five-game run at the SEC Tournament last week, but it did not help the team's lone All-SEC first-team selection emerge from a hitting slump.
Koch went 2 for 15, including an RBI double and a sacrifice fly, to help the Razorbacks surge to the tournament final against No. 3 LSU. Coach Dave Van Horn dropped Koch from cleanup to No. 7 in the lineup during the tournament, but he's certain the former Fayetteville High School standout is ready to return to his role as a strong contributor as the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville enters the NCAA Fayetteville Regional this week.
