FAYETTEVILLE — At the plate and in the field, Arkansas catcher Casey Opitz made key plays during the Razorbacks’ 3-0 victory over Georgia on Friday night.

Opitz doubled in the second inning to score Robert Moore to give Arkansas a 1-0 lead. That score held throughout most of the game, until Moore hit a two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Razorbacks (35-8, 16-6) some breathing room.
