FAYETTEVILLE -- Sophomore catcher Casey Opitz was one of the few University Arkansas baseball players who hadn't been pounding Tennessee pitching this weekend.
Of the Razorbacks' first 41 hits against the Vols, Opitz had one -- a single on Friday night.
Next game
No. 7 Arkansas vs. Grambling State
WHEN 6:30 p.m.
SHORT HOPS Jordan McFarland was the Razorbacks’ starting DH for the second consecutive game with Matt Goodheart out Sunday with a shoulder injury. McFarland went 1 for 4 and scored a run. Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said Goodheart also will miss Tuesday night’s game against Grambling … Arkansas’ 7-game SEC winning streak is its longest in conference play since the Razorbacks won 9 in a row in 2010 … Tennessee shortstop Ricky Martin had a 14-pitch at-bat against Matt Cronin in the ninth inning before flying out to center field … Jordyn Wieber, Arkansas’ new gymnastics coach and an Olympic gold medalist, did three back handsprings, then threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
