Goodheart has "contacts" to connect for Hogs in SEC opener

FAYETTEVILLE — When a hitter is in a tear, often they say, “I'm seeing the ball well right now.”

Matt Goodheart is just glad to see the ball period. Projected to be the Arkansas designated hitter in preseason, Goodheart entered SEC play hitting just .241.

After the eye doctor fitted Goodheart with new contacts on Thursday, the DH's good vision broke up a stellar pitching duel with just enough offense to lead No. 10 Arkansas past Missouri 2-0 on Friday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Goodheart complained of poor vision earlier in the week and thought it was time for an eye check-up.
