FAYETTEVILLE -- It appears the No. 6 Arkansas Razorbacks will start their final regular-season series at No. 13 Georgia on Thursday without two key veterans up the middle and first base not fully settled.
Coach Dave Van Horn said Tuesday that catcher Grant Koch and shortstop Jax Biggers are unlikely for the 6 p.m. series opener at Foley Field in Athens, Ga.
He sounded upbeat about having freshman catcher Casey Opitz and sophomore shortstop Jack Kenley filling in for the two juniors, and giving junior Hunter Wilson more time at first base, where his defense was hit and miss during last weekend's sweep of Texas A&M.
