Sooners' slugger on a tear

FAYETTEVILLE — Oklahoma will bring one of college baseball’s hottest hitters to Baum-Walker Stadium on Tuesday.

Junior first baseman Tyler Hardman is batting .492 with 4 home runs and 15 RBI through 15 games. Hardman has also walked 14 times and has an on-base percentage of .587.

Among hitters with at least 50 at-bats, Hardman’s on-base percentage is the best in college baseball and his batting average ranks third nationally.

During a 12-6 victory over Arkansas State on Monday, Hardman had an on-base streak end at 16 consecutive plate appearances, two shy of the NCAA record.
