Five weeks into the season and a couple of Freshmen are leading the red hot Arkansas lineup that ranks 8th in the country in batting average (.321) and 2nd in home runs (41). Heston Kjerstad is batting .366 with 5 home runs and a team leading 25 RBI, and Casey Martin has a team leading 7 home runs with 22 driven in while batting .369. How’s that for March Madness?
But we all saw this coming, right? With the veterans the Hogs returned from a year ago, it could hardly be expected that a couple of rookies would be pacing the production of the 4th ranked team in the nation.
