FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas opened team preseason practice under sunny skies Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium.
The Razorbacks’ six-inning intrasquad scrimmage was highlighted by good performances at the plate for sophomore center fielder Christian Franklin, who had three hits, an RBI and scored a run batting third in the lineup.
Left fielder Braydon Webb and catcher Dominic Tamez, both newcomers, also had multiple hits with two apiece. Webb, a junior college transfer who is a strong candidate to hit leadoff for the Razorbacks, tripled to the wall in center field to lead off the bottom of the third inning and scored on the second of Franklin’s three hits, a single two at-bats later.
