S E C play

After 2 weeks of S E C play the razorback baseball team has proved to be very competitive. The first weekend of conference play took place the weekend of March 19th where the hogs traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to play the Defending National champions, “LSU tigers”. The weekend started off quite well for the hogs jumping out to a well played victory on Friday night. Mike Bolsinger got the win, who has developed to be the razorback’s number 1 Friday night pitcher. The player of the game was Brett Eibner, who showcased his power adding 2 homeruns and 4 Rbi’s to his stats. The following two games against LSU did not work out as the razorbacks hoped, leaving the series, losing 2 out of the three games. The hogs let game 2 slip away allowing 7 runs in the 7th inning. Against a good baseball team like LSU you cannot let mistakes take advantage of you. The hogs got there first road test and learned a lot about their baseball team in Louisiana.
Letting the series to Lsu slip away was a learning experience for the team. They proved to bounce back the following weekend when the Alabama Crimson Tide, came into town. The razorbacks came from behind in the first 2 games helping to complete a 3 game sweep against the # 20 ranked Crimson Tide. What a huge sweep this was for the razorbacks. Coming from behind in the 2 games showed great competition and proved to the Hog fans, that there baseball team is not going to give up. They know their offense is strong and can explode at anytime. The star of the series was Zack Cox, who was elected by the South Eastern Conference, as the S E C player of the week. Cox displays a .435 batting average which is 2nd in the entire league. The # 10 Razorbacks want to keep their momentum rolling, as they play host to Centenary in a midweek series Tuesday and Wednesday.
