FAYETTEVILLE — There was lots of talk about those who were around last year for a crazy NCAA Regional at Baum Stadium. Lots of veterans were back on both teams, including the star, Missouri State shortstop Jeremy Eierman.
Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn remembers the long homers Eierman blasted against both Arkansas and Oklahoma State to help the Bears win the regional.
But it was a pair of Arkansas freshmen who were playing in high school games that proved the difference in a 11-7 victory Tuesday night at Baum Stadium.
Actually, it was nothing new. Casey Martin and Heston Kjerstad have been rolling through top teams all season.
