Kjerstad provides pop as Hogs sweep Eastern Illinois

Arkansas junior right fielder Heston Kjerstad is definitely living up to his preseason All-American billing.

Kjerstad homered twice Sunday, doing so for the second time in three days, as the Razorbacks pounded Eastern Illinois 12-3 before 5,694 fans at Baum Stadium to sweep a three-game set from the Panthers.

Kjerstad, who was 3-of-5 with 6 RBIs on Sunday, has 4 homers and 10 RBIs already this season while hitting .583 for Arkansas (3-0).

Razorback freshman starter Blake Adams, one of four Razorback pitchers on Sunday, made his college debut and allowed two runs on six hits while walking a pair and throwing 53 pitches, 33 of which were strikes.
