Former Razorback Eibner called up to big leagues

Former Razorback outfielder and pitcher Brett Eibner was called up to the Miami Marlins active roster on Tuesday.

Eibner, who most recently played for the Sugarland Skeeters of the independent Constellation Energy League, had his contract purchased by the Marlins on Aug. 1 and was invited to spring training two days later.

Eibner played as a pitcher and outfielder for the Skeeters, but was brought up to the Marlins roster as a pitcher. In five appearances for the Skeeters this year, he threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out eight batters.

Eibner played for the Razorbacks from 2008-10.
