OMAHA, Neb. -- More than one guy named Blaine has helped the Arkansas Razorbacks surge into the winner's bracket at the College World Series.
Ace right-hander Blaine Knight has done his share from the mound with a school-record tying 13 victories, and strength and conditioning coach Blaine Kinsley has helped the Hogs hold on to their power throughout a long season.
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (45-19) will put Kinsley's season-long work to another test tonight at 6 against Texas Tech (45-18) at TD Ameritrade Park.
Kinsley, speaking behind his ever-present sunglasses Saturday during a Hogs practice at Creighton University, was confident in the other Blaine and the Razorbacks' hitters on the eve of their College World Series opener.
