FAYETTEVILLE — Through 10 games, Arkansas' best power hitter is a player who had never hit any home runs prior to the season.
Jack Kenley's three home runs might come as a surprise to some, but the junior infielder has shown some pop in his bat during off-season scrimmages every year. His lack of home runs might be better described by a lack of at-bats - just 84 combined as a freshman and sophomore reserve.
Now the team's starting second baseman, Kenley belted a pair of two-run home runs in Saturday's 15-7 victory over Stony Brook. Aided by a strong north wind at his back, both of Kenley's homers traveled a long way.
