FAYETTEVILLE — It's not often fans get to hear the immediate reaction of a coach during practice, but that's what happened Wednesday.
With two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the fourth inning, Arkansas shortstop Jalen Battles hit a home run to left-center field to tie Game 4 of the Razorbacks’ fall series at 1-1.
Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn was wearing a microphone during the SEC Network-Plus broadcast at the time and liked what he saw.
"Battles got rewarded for getting out in front of that breaking ball," Van Horn said. "The last time he was up he crushed a ball to center field and the wind pushed it down.
